Bean is an affectionate and playful Chihuahua looking for her forever home! Bean is a clingy, loving companion who will happily follow you around and curl up on your lap for snuggles. She has a heart of gold and “doesn't have a mean bone in her body”. She is incredibly affectionate, loves giving kisses, and enjoys a good game of fetch. Bean handles human touching with ease—you can touch her anywhere, open her mouth, and easily take away toys. She walks beautifully on a leash and does okay at the vet. She is comfortable in her crate and will happily sleep in it overnight. She is an adorable little soul ready to make your home her own.
Ideal Home
Bean must have another compatible dog in her home similar in size. If there are children in the home, they must be at least 8 years old and respectful of a dog's boundaries. Bean's home must have a fully secured fenced yard; apartments are not a good fit for her.
Ongoing Health
Bean received a Pro Heart 12 injection on May 7, 2026. Pro Heart 12 protects against heartworm disease for 12 months. She will only require Nexguard each month for flea/tick prevention until April 2027. For May 2027, she will require a new prescription for Nexguard and Heartguard or Advantage Multi for year-round ongoing preventative treatment. Bean was successfully treated for heartworm disease and must remain on heartworm preventatives year-round for the rest of her life to avoid reinfection.
Training & Support
While generally well-behaved, Bean is very food-motivated and has a knack for jumping on counters, so her new family will need to keep food and small hazards out of reach. She barks occasionally to express jealousy or when she wants a toy, and she does have a habit of chewing on blankets or pencils, so she requires lots of her own chew toys to stay redirected. She is working on her house-training and will sometimes have accidents (pee/poo) if left alone during the day, though she can easily hold it overnight. Her new family should be aware that she experiences slight anxiety and shaking when traveling in cars, but could be trained to love the car with positive reinforcement and time. She is currently indifferent to cats, but any feline friends will require a slow, monitored introduction.
