Bean Retriever & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Palatine, IL

Oh to be young and smart! Bean is the perfect pup for an experienced dog owner.

A fast-learner and great listener, Bean continues to expand her vocabulary--she currently understands "sit," "off," "go," "potty," and "night-night!" She enjoys the outdoors and will happily sun herself on a deck or patio. Bean still has some insecurities; so she needs slow introductions when meeting new dogs and people and supervision when sharing toys.

Once she feels comfortable, Bean is extremely loving and playful. As her foster-parent runs a doggy daycare, she has interacted with 80+ different dogs in her short life, but we think she would appreciate a home where she can have all the toys and treats to herself as an only dog! Bean has not been exposed to cats, and we think she’d prefer a home without younger children.

While Bean is still relatively young, her foster mom has done a great job giving her the training that will help her make a quick adjustment to her forever home. She is house trained and will whine or bark when it’s time to visit Mother Nature’s powder room. And while you’re out and about, she will happily wait in her crate for you to return. In fact, there may be times when she just wants some alone time and will stay in her crate even when you want to show her off. The crate is her happy and safe refuge.

Like most youngsters, Bean is food competitive with a healthy appetite and can eat almost anything, but is sensitive to chicken. She eats in her crate, from a slow feeder. She loves attention, including belly rubs and ear scratches, and will snuggle and be a lap dog, too. This young superstar has great potential to be that companion you always dreamed of. Will you be the one to help Bean continue to blossom?
