Some dogs are larger than life. Beatrice is larger than life... but convinced she's lap-sized.
We think this beautiful girl is a Mastiff/Hound mix (or something equally lovable), and while she may be a big dog, she is quite possibly one of the gentlest souls we've ever met.
Beatrice has absolutely no concept of her size. She leans into people with her whole body for affection, quietly rests her giant head in your lap, and looks at you with the softest expression as if to ask, "Is this okay?" (The answer is always yes.)
She's incredibly sweet, wonderfully meek, and has the kind of calm, easygoing temperament that makes everyone fall in love with her. In fact, we don't say this lightly—Beatrice is one of the nicest dogs we've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She adores people, is lovely with other dogs, and seems to believe everyone she meets is a potential friend.
Like many Mastiff-type dogs, Beatrice previously had entropion, a condition where the eyelids roll inward and the eyelashes rub against the eye. Before coming to Heartland, she underwent corrective surgery, and she's now comfortable and seeing the world just the way she should. We think it's fitting that the only thing ever "wrong" with Beatrice was that her eyes needed a little help—because now everyone who looks into them falls in love.
There's a saying that the bigger the dog, the bigger the heart. If that's true, Beatrice's heart must be absolutely enormous.
She's the kind of dog who makes you slow down. The kind who reminds you that gentleness is a strength. The kind who would happily spend her days following you from room to room, leaning against your legs while you make dinner, and curling up beside you at the end of the day.
If you've been waiting for a giant, smooshy best friend with impeccable manners, a heart of gold, and enough love to fill an entire house, Beatrice has been waiting for you too.
Beatrice's adoption fee is $300. She is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
