About Pear

Meet Pear, a sweet female puppy born on September 8th. She’s one of nine adorable pups, likely a mix of hound and retriever. While we can’t confirm her father's identity, some of the puppies show promising signs of retriever traits. Expect her to grow into a large dog. Pear will be ready for her forever home around mid-November after completing her vaccinations. Adopters will work with us to schedule her vet care, including spay surgery when she’s old enough. Raising a puppy takes dedication, so Pear’s new family should be prepared for the commitment involved. She gets along with other dogs and is young enough to learn how to interact with cats properly. However, homes with very young children may need to wait until Pear develops proper manners, as puppies can nip and chew. Additionally, she prefers not to be left alone for long hours. Apply to adopt and find out if you are the perfect match for Pear!
