Baby Bean is a 6-year-old female Jack Russell Terrier Mix and the best dog you could ever seek.

My name is Baby Bean and I am “Alaqua’s Pet of the Week.” Cast away and unwanted, I found myself alone and in a scary place. Alaqua quickly worked to get me to safety.

They’ve had me on a special diet since I’ve been here. With my diet and activity, I think I have tightened up at least two notches on my harness! At Alaqua, I have learned to eat well, follow the rules, and to trust and obey.

I quickly made friends with everyone, whether they had four legs or two! I found a new love and adoration for children.

My personality is one that is friendly and sweet and I’m always eager to please. My coat is easy to care for — simply wash, shake and dry.

Don’t be surprised if I quickly capture your heart!
