Bean Boxer Mix Brunswick, ME

Bean is a 3-yr old Boxer mix whose time was up at a southern shelter. Because he was such a great boy and a shelter favorite he needed a ticket out. Bean is a super sweet and goofy boy. Not only is he housebroken but he is great with dogs, kids and cats. He is fostered in Newport ME.


Bean foster update:
Bean LOVES to play with toys and carries one in his mouth at all times!! He does settle when he needs to and loves to cuddle. He has so much love to give, he's such a happy soul. He is pretty bomb proof - not scared of sounds or new things. Bean would REALLY benefit from another big dog to play with in his new home. He really loves other dogs, and seems submissive when it comes to play.
I can take toys and bones away from him, no issues. He hides his bones, which is cute. He takes food from our hands very gently, nice manners. Waits patiently for his meals and hasn't shown any issues with food sharing or handling. I don't see signs of resource guarding so far.

Bean doesn't like going INTO a crate, but once he's in, he's fine.
Bean will need work on leash manners, but I think he would do much better using a gentle leader rather than collar, based on his size and strength! When I've taken him on car rides or in public, he does great!!

He knows his name and knows the word "ball". Plays fetch very well! We are working on "sit".
He does jump up gently for affection and to lick us all over neck/hands. He's so desperate for love, but too big to jump, so we're working with him on that.

Bean is a great dog and can be left alone without issues. He stays close to people and hasn't tried to chase the deer and birds in the backyard. Watches life quietly with curiosity. So far not a barker at all.

If you are looking for a big, gentle, and playful boy who would love you forever, he's your guy!

Adoption fee is $475
