Hi there! My name is Beanie and I'm a 2 year old, neutered male Chihuahua mix that currently weighs about 13lbs. I'm a timid sweetheart that enjoys the company of humans but takes a little bit of time to warm up. If you have patience and treats, we'll be best friends in no time! I'm still working on my social skills so I'd like to be the only dog in the household, and no cats please. I may be small, but I'm all the pup you need! I'm hoping for a family that will spoil me and teach me about the world. If you have experience with shy boys like me, that's a plus! Due to my shyness, I'd do best without young children at home. I can't wait to meet you! For more information about me, just ask Customer Service about Beanie! ID# A948576
I'm a staff favorite and get to spend time in their office:
"I had him here all day yesterday. He didn’t pee in the office but waited until we went outside. Didn’t bark at anyone/anything. He was nervous about people leaning over the Dutch doors to say hi but if they came in, sat on the floor, and tossed him treats he would warm up to them. He hung out on my lap for a bit while I worked but mostly napped on the bed I made him. I also left for about 30 minutes and asked a coworker to check in on him and he just slept the whole time I was gone. He’s very sweet and curious just needs to get to know people before trusting them to pet him!"
Notes from my foster parent!
"Very very sweet and lively when he’s comfortable around you. Jumps up like a bunny. Stretches on the carpet like a true yogi. Hides his bones."
"We did notice after about a week, he will approach other stranger males on the walk just to sniff! Brave little soul! We had male guests over for thanksgiving and he wasn’t really shaking at them either. Much much better than he first arrived." Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.
You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays). We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around!
To check on an animal's adoption status, please call 650-340-7022 during normal business hours to speak with an adoption counselor. Emails will be returned as soon as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours during busy adoption periods like weekends.
