About Bear

Bear is a sweet boy who has just returned to our shelter after spending most of his eight years in a home. With the introduction of two small children, he struggled to adjust, so his family made the difficult choice to bring him back. He needs a home where there are no children under 15. Bear weighs about 35 lbs and has a warm, loving nature, believing he's a lap dog. He thrives on walks and being around his people. Born on September 20, 2018, Bear has a tricolor coat featuring brown, black, and white. It’s clear he’s a bit bewildered by the change in his life, and we hope to find him a wonderful forever home soon. To adopt Bear, please fill out an application via the rescue's website. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
