About Bear

Bear is a 6-year-old shorty eager to find his forever home! Weighing in at around 18 lbs, this sweet boy showcases a delightful mix of Dachshund and Lancashire Heeler, giving him that endearing short stature. He’s a true companion, getting along famously with other dogs and even with the resident cats at his foster sanctuary along the Texas/Mexico border. Kids are no issue for Bear; he thrives on love and affection from them. One of Bear’s charming quirks is his blanket obsession. No matter the weather, he insists on snuggling under a blanket. You’ll often find him playing, eating, then promptly returning for his cozy cover-up. This playful and gentle spirit is also house and crate trained, ready to transition smoothly into your home. After being surrendered by his elderly owner who could no longer care for him, Bear is ready for a new start. He will be neutered, heartworm negative, and current on all vaccinations and preventatives before adoption. It's important to note that although Bear is located in Texas, adoptions are limited to areas in the Central US and East Coast to ensure a better chance for all animals. Consider giving Bear the loving home he deserves. He’s waiting to share all his love with you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
