Time to Find Homes for these Puppies!

It is time to find homes for these puppies! They are more than ready for forever families.

The Beanie Babies are now eight weeks old, age-appropriately vaccinated, and microchipped. And I need your help finding those homes!

Please share this blog post (or any of the Facebook posts I’ve put up on Another Good Dog) with anyone and everyone.

My best guess is that they will be about the size of their mom, who is 50 pounds, but that’s just a guess, since dad is not in the picture, so adopters should be prepared for them to be 60 pounds or more.

The Beanie Babies have been really healthy, hearty puppies who have been a joy to foster. They are all snugglers. They can be running wild, but as soon as you pick one up, they melt in your arms and are as content as can be. That’s made dewormings, vaccines, and nail trimmings much easier than other litters.

Here is the roster:

Green Bean

Green Bean is the most outgoing of the bunch. He’s first to investigate whatever new thing I toss in the puppy pen – boxes, baby pools, big bags, bins, etc. He is very friendly and easy going. He’s doing really well with learning to sit calmly for pets and treats. GB loves to romp around the pen and is athletic and strong – the first to climb over obstacles or slip out the gate if I leave it open. He is also super happy to be picked up and cuddled and will stay content in your arms as long as you’ll have him.

Pinto Bean

This guy is the calmest of the bunch, and maybe the smartest. He’s VERY treat motivated and figured out sit calmly for treats and pets on the first day. PB is curious and sometimes cautious. When new people come in the pen, he hangs back at first making sure it’s all good before warming up. He loves toys, especially crinkly ones (he loves the baby pool of plastic bottles). He has maintained his size advantage and is about a pound heavier than the other two puppies.\

Soy Bean

She is the only girl and is a little bit of a princess. She is the first to voice her objection to being left alone in the pen and the first to demand my attention. Soy Bean is an outgoing little girl with a compact ‘square’ kind of build (compared to the boys who are tall and lanky). She is a scrumptious chocolate color with gorgeous markings and light colored eyes. She is friendly and snuggly and a little bit on the impish side. She loves people and adores her littermates.

All of the Beanie Babies are ready to go home today. If you or anyone you know is looking for a puppy to add to your family, please consider these darlings.

Email me (cara@wwldo.org) for adoption information. We are located just outside of Woodstock, Virginia.

Lima Bean Update

As we wean her off some of the medications, she is slowing down and seams more uncomfortable. X-Port Paws is in consultation with veterinarians trying to figure out what the best plan of action is. One bright spot is that we’ve determined she is not Caval (end stage heartworm) because her symptoms don’t present that way. The challenge now is to figure out what is making her system go a bit haywire and also to determine if her leg is the cause of it. We hope to come up with a plan for treatment soon, but so far we haven’t got one.

Until Each One Has a Home,
