About Bear

Bear is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu who found his way to the SPCA of East Texas after his family moved to a place where pets weren't allowed. Weighing in at 34 pounds, he's eager to discover a loving family for his golden years. Crate-trained and house-trained, Bear enjoys the simple pleasures in life, like curling up in bed next to his humans. He’s both sweet and social, making him a wonderful companion for people of all ages, including children, and he gets along famously with both cats and dogs. Bear has been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, and he stays up to date with flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Just a heads up: he will require regular grooming to keep his long coat looking its best. If you can offer this affectionate boy a forever home, consider completing an online adoption application. He’d love to meet you and start a new chapter together!
