German Shepherd Dog

OWNER IS ILL AND BEAR NEEDS A NEW HOME Bear is a neutered male German Shepherd. He is 10 years old, 96 lbs and current on all shots. He was given up by a senior woman who could no longer care for him. He spent time in a shelter until his current owner found him on the internet. It was love at first sight. He was adopted by his current owner and his life became happy again. FromFeb., 14 2008 ,he has been a loyal and loving companion to his owner. Unfortunately, his owner is very ill with cancer and can no longer care for Bear.. His owner is devastated and now he is looking for someone who will open his/her heart and home to his very wonderful pet. Bear has been very well cared for. He is a quiet dog ,likes attention, protective ,and can be trusted to have the run of the house since he is non-destructive and housebroken. He loves his walks and does well on the leash. Bear would enjoy and benefit by being the only pet in the house. However, he likes kids of all ages. It was a pleasure meeting Bear. I only hope that he finds a home as good as the one he has now. I know it would ease his owner's mind if Bear would be adopted into an excellent home. Please consider adopting Bear.
