about STRING BEAN

String Bean: The Noodle-Limbed Philosopher (and Professional Goofball)

​

Meet String Bean, a tall package of energy, charm, and questionable life choices. Part Pitbull, part overcooked spaghetti, and 100% certified weirdo, this foster pup is here to prove that rescue dogs aren’t just “secondhand” pets—they’re upgraded models with all the quirks pre-installed.

​

Early Life (Or, “The Dark Times Before the Couch Was His”)
String Bean’s origin story is shrouded in mystery. Rumor has it he was forged in the heart of a tornado, raised by a tribe of raccoons, and taught the art of snack theft by a retired ninja. When he arrived at Animal Control, he introduced himself with a full-body tail wag that covered everything and everyone in splatters from his cut tail. Severely underweight and covered head to toe with pressure sores, that didn’t stop his big cheesy grin and ability to make every person in Animal Control fall madly in love with his goofy personality. It's love at first sight with this Big Bean!

​

Personality: A Delightful Disaster
String Bean approaches life with the confidence of a dog who thinks he’s a 10-pound lap dog. His hobbies include:

• Extreme Napping: He’s pioneered the “Dangle-Snore” position (half on the couch, half off, tongue out).

• Toy Espionage: He doesn’t steal them; he “relocates” them to his secret lair (under his dog bed).

• Philosophical Debates: He stares into your soul at 3 a.m. while you question your life choices.

• Drama: He will pout with the acting skills of Morgan Freeman to get your attention and butt scratches. Academy Award pending.

Special Skills

• Good Manners: String Bean knows his basic commands like sit, stay, wait, down, off, and kennel. He’ll wait to eat until you've whispered those two little letters, "O....K...."

• Communication: He'll notify you when he needs to go out and prefers grass under his big ole paws to “leave his mark.”

• Strolls: This handsome dude enjoys long strolls if given the time.

• Advanced Cuteness Overload: His head tilt could end wars—or at least convince you to share your sandwich.

• Master Charmer: I dare you to lay your eyes on this Bean Cake and not fall head over heels in love with his goofy grin, full-body wag, and silly demeanor. Instant celebrity at any event!

Why String Bean Needs a Home
This dog is a walking joy grenade! He’ll make you laugh when he face-plants into a snowdrift, sigh when he curls up like a croissant on your lap, and marvel at his ability to turn a brand-new chew toy into an explosion of fluff in 10.4 seconds. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and people-trained (he’s training you). He has a bit of F.O.M.O. (Fear of Missing Out), so if he can see you but cannot touch you, he’ll make sure you are aware of his displeasure with your rules of containment.

Ideal Adopter

• Must enjoy interpretive dance (his “I Need to Play” routine is avant-garde).

• Willing to debate the merits of stealing pizza crusts (he’s pro and tall enough to counter surf with ease).

• Appreciates a dog who doubles as a personal comedian/therapist.

• Requires a strong grip, as he is one of the largest String Beans you’ve ever met. He’s strong, and if you don’t hold on, he will take YOU for a walk!

• Gets along with cats, dogs, and humans of all sizes. He loves to wrestle with his 25-pound foster brother and is usually at the bottom of the doggy pile, letting them chew on him lovingly.

• Because Bean is such a big goofball, we recommend a household with older kids, as his tail wags can pack quite a punch if you get too close when it’s in full swing!

Final Pitch
String Bean isn’t just a dog; he’s a lifestyle. Adopting him means signing up for daily laughter, relentless snuggles, and a front-row seat to the greatest show on Earth: a rescue dog thriving and gaining weight every day. He’s not broken—he’s perfected. And he’s ready to prove that the best things in life aren’t purebred; they’re pure joy.
