🎉 ADOPTED 🎉
Beanie AKA Bean Bean or Beanie Baby is available for adoption. Beanie is a sweet little 3.5 year old tripod (3 legged) Boston Terrier. She is also a fashionista! Beanie needs a home with few stairs or someone willing to carrier her upstairs, she goes down just fine. But has not mastered going up steps. She can do a few steps going in and outside. She must be able to sleep with her Human(s). She will not have it any other way and will protest by chewing on her cage and cry. She is a noisy sleeper so you must not be bothered by snoring. She needs a home with a calm smaller dog that will share all the stuffed animals (she is a stuffy hoarder). She can be possessive over her stuffies so sharing isn’t always her favorite. But she does need a dog that will respect the fact that she has a small handicap and can be a little unstable at times as she’s relearning how to balance herself. She can be an only dog if someone is home most of the time. I don’t think Beanie would do well in a home with full time working parents as she is used to be being with her work from home foster mom. She is afraid of new places and will be very shy and skittish, it will take her a while to feel comfortable. If put in the right situation the office life may suit her if allowed. Beanie likes to be with her human. She will snuggle right up to you on the couch. Beanie does not mind being picked up, carried, held or smooched! She deserves to be doted over really. She prefers to be smothered with affection. She’s a very affectionate girl. No fence is required for Beanie but for safety homes without fences will be evaluated. She goes out does her business and wants right back in. Potty training is going okay… most of her accidents are at the door. She is quick and does not give any warning. A regular potty routine is best. Beanie is crate trained but prefers not to be left for long periods of time. She will definitely need a comfy bed to lay on in her crate. Beanie loves everyone she meets, and they love her. She’s is all around a little dream of a companion. She is sweet and has so much emotion in her heart and eyes. She does need a carpeted home or a home with lots of rugs for grip since she is a tripod. She would prefer a calm quieter home. She is chill and prefers to live out retirement relaxed! She is on a daily joint supplement to keep her remaining rear leg joints strong and healthy as it does have to take on more work now. Beanie is an easy dog and very resilient! If your looking for a little BFF Beanie is your girl. Most of Beanies pictures are before leg amputation.
Beanies journey into rescue has not been as smooth and straight forward as we had hoped. She came to us as a retired breeding mom. The previous breeder stated that she had a lump on her “hip” region of her leg and that it was a cyst that fluid was able to be aspirated from. So, cool right?! Easy peasy! Remove the lump when she gets spayed. When her doctor was excising the lump it didn’t appear to be a cyst and was an irregular mass. Her doctor was unable to remove the mass completely. Her mass was sent out for biopsy and came back as a subcutaneous mast cell tumor. She was sent to an oncologist for evaluation. The mass was growing back and aggressive. With many options presented and careful thought… the only way to ensure the “cancer” would be completely removed was amputating her leg. This decision was not taken lightly. Most subcutaneous mast cell tumors are focal and removing them is curative if proper margins are taken. The only way to get proper margins was amputation. So far we have seen no regrowth 🙏🏼. This does mean in the future if she does get any more lumps and bumps they should be evaluated and potentially removed while they are small so proper margins can be taken from the site. we are hopeful that Beanie will live out a full, happy, healthy life!
