Bean

Hello. My name is Bean. I am a handsome, 8-year-old Shih Tzu/poodle mix,<br/>and I am looking for my forever home. I was surrendered by my owners last<br/>March. They did not treat my cataracts, so we will never know if any of my<br/>sight could have been saved. So now, I am blind. I am with a foster mom and<br/>have 3 other siblings (all small dogs) that I get along with just fine. At first,<br/>my siblings didn’t understand why I would accidentally bump into walls,<br/>couches, and even them. However, I’ve adjusted very quickly to my<br/>environment and get around with no problems. I can even do stairs, but I<br/>need to learn where they are and be protected from accidentally falling<br/>down them. I LOVE my walks around the neighborhood. I navigate the<br/>sidewalks and only need some guidance at the curbs! I wasn’t socialized, so<br/>I don’t like to meet dogs on walks. I need time to get to know them. My foster mom has been fostering several other dogs so far and I have adjusted to new dogs coming in and out of the home very well now. I even lay on the couch together, so I know I can get used to other dogs. I just need time. I also need time to get to know people with whom I haven’t met. PLEASE go slowly and be patient with me. Quick movements or picking me up before I know who you are can be very scary to me. Remember, I’m blind. I don’t know if you’re going to hug me or hurt me. Once I know I can trust you, I am a sweet and docile little guy. I want to be in your presence and tend to follow you around. I like to lay on your lap or next to you while you watch TV. I will sit at your feet while you work or check emails. If you allow it, I enjoy sleeping at the foot of the bed so I can get morning belly rubs.<br/><br/>My ideal home would be one without young children. I get along with other dogs just fine, but I need time to get to know them. I am a senior dog who would love to have an active person/couple; that would be a wonderful fit for me. I need a family that understands I have special needs and is willing to work with me. I want a family who loves me, so I can return the love, tenfold. Regular exercise is essential. Bean is neutered and UTD on vaccines.<br/><br/>If interested in adopting me, please go to https://www.sainrescue.org/contact-us/adoption-application/ and complete the adoption application. A private meet and greet will be set up for you to meet me. In the meantime, please follow me and other adoptable dogs at SAIN Rescue on Facebook and Instagram <br/>Love, Bean<br/><br/>Applicants must live in the state of Illinois and within approximately 50 miles from Bartlett.
