Meet bear

In mid-October 2025, over a cold holiday weekend, I found Bear tied to a fence near my apartment complex. My neighbor said a shelter couldn't send help until Monday. When I got closer, I saw he was covered in fleas, scratched raw from itching, slightly underweight, and shaking from the cold. I took him straight to the emergency vet. After treatment, medication, updated vaccinations, and follow-ups, he was given a clean bill of health.
Bear is now almost 1.5 years old and thriving. He's affectionate, playful, and loves giving hugs. He enjoys toys, dog park playtime, watermelon slices, and peanut butter treats. He needs an active, committed home that can give him exercise, attention, and stability. He didn't get off to the best start, but he deserves the best going forward. Bear has already overcome abandonment and hardship - he is loving, he is playful, he is resilient. And he is ready for his forever home.

Included: toys, crate, food (container & bowls), seatbelt, harness & 2 leashes
