Bean

My story

Meet Bean, or as her foster calls her, Beanie Baby–she’s just that soft, lovable, and compact. Her love language is physical closeness. Bean melts into affection and gives it right back in spades. As a professional cuddler, she would absolutely live in your lap if she could. Those big, soulful eyes seem to say, “You're my person.” Formerly known as Cocobean #A740118, Bean was found as a stray on May 17, 2025, when she walked up to a family attending a gathering near Recreation Park in Long Beach, California. This sweet pocket pittie arrived at Long Beach Animal Care Services emaciated and dehydrated, with several mammary masses, traces of blood in her urine, skin and ear infections, and worn-down teeth. By the looks of her, this momma has likely known little more than overbreeding and neglect; and yet, still her tail wags when anyone shows her kindness. Thanks to a foster home opening up, we were able to pull this kind soul into rescue so we could get her medically rehabilitated. In her foster home, we’ve observed Bean to be mellow. She’s never had an accident and knows how to “sit,” “wait” (begrudgingly), and “place.” Bean is food-motivated and incredibly gentle with treats. A cozy blanket and a calm send-off help her feel right at home in her crate. On walks, Bean's the perfect middle ground: She’ll stop to sniff the flowers but still keeps a spring in her step. Bean is also great in the car, curious about the world around her, and shows off her smarts when training. This is one clever girl who picks up things quickly and aims to please. Bean has yet to meet a person she isn't instantly friendly and relaxed around. She also engages dogs in the same way. We're pretty sure she sees her daily walks as just another opportunity to visit her adoring fans. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a gentle heart and an intelligent spark, Bean might just be your perfect match.
