About Bear

Meet Bear! Bear is a lively 3-year-old Chihuahua who weighs 11.8 pounds. Recently saved from an overcrowded shelter in California, he is now settling into life in Oregon. This sweet little guy is understandably a bit frightened due to all the changes he's experienced, but with patience, he’s bound to thrive. Bear gets along well with other dogs and has already learned to use the doggy door for potty breaks. He seems to do great with children too, making him a wonderful companion for families. He is scheduled to be neutered, and he’s looking for a caring home where he can feel secure and loved. If you think you could provide Bear a loving forever home, please fill out an application today!
