Beans - Australian Shepherd and Poodle Dog for Adoption in Coupeville, Washington

About Beans

Beans is an approximately 2-year-old male who weighs around 25-30 lb. He came to us from a difficult situation and can be very timid when meeting new people. While he is still learning to trust and build his confidence, he absolutely loves being around other dogs.

Beans is continuing to work on his leash skills and is not yet house-trained, but he has made great progress during his time at WAIF. He is looking for a patient, understanding family who will continue helping him gain confidence while working with him on his training needs.

Because of his shy nature, Beans will need at least three meet-and-greets with his potential adopters, or as many visits as needed to ensure he feels comfortable and is set up for success in his new home.
