Bean was an owner surrender in Rutherford County, who was picked up by the Blue Ridge Humane Society. I had been looking for my first dog, but wanted to wait until I made a little bit more money to be able to support my pet. The day I was offered my current job, Bean was brought into the BRHS and as soon as I saw her photo I fell in love. She was a silly little 3 month old pup at the time. She’d fall asleep in public, but now had a mission to say hello to everyone she meets. She has a deep love for kiddos and is incredibly playful with my nephews. She’s a happy hyper pup during the day and a little snuggle bug at night. I feel lucky every day to have her with me on this journey.
