We adopted our Beans when he was only 2 months old. We have shared numerous good memories with him since then.
Beans would do well in a home without kids, without other dogs, without too many new visitors and in a calm neighborhood. He is a big boy (~55-60lbs) who thinks he is still small, and he gets quite affectionate and excited when we are back home or when he sees friends he is used to – so we don’t recommend him for the elderly either. Beans is 7yrs old. He does better inside the home and prefers to be around his family. He is a smart guy, potty trained, and likes to sleep in his crate.
Why are we wanting to re-home Beans? Unfortunately his anxiety and fearful behavior led to a handful of biting incidents over the years, mostly related to “resource guarding” and “cornering him” when he is afraid of something. The frequency of incidents reduced drastically once we learned how to deal with that. However, our 2 years-old daughter loves having him and he has been good with her, but she unfortunately doesn’t understand the risks and how to deal with Beans.
After an incident last year due to resource guarding, we have made the very hard decision to re-home him for our daughter’s safety.
Thanks for reading and for considering Beans as your new buddy.
