Bear's Story

If you feel like you've seen this guy before, you're not wrong. Meet Bear, formerly known as Kyle, but also formerly known as Bear. It has come to our attention that he prefers to be known as Bear. So here we go...<br/>From what he's willing to share, Bear has spent most of his life outdoors, and was battling some issues. He came to us with itchy skin, and an ear infection. With some care, time, and love he healed. Now that he's looking and feeling much better, he's become the affectionate boy we always knew was there. <br/>Bear has two loves: people, and playing. He's also a simple guy. He doesn't need anything fancy, just some stuffed toys, a tennis ball, and a person that appreciates the joy that only a dog can bring. And even though he's been here for a bit, he keeps showing us that he has more to give. <br/>So, as it turns out this is a bit of an underdog story. You know the one: Unassuming guy that no one really pays attention to. The less attention he gets, the sadder he becomes. The sadder he becomes, the less attention he gets. Until one day, somebody comes along who sees what's underneath it all. That belief in him, makes him start to believe in himself. And every day gets just a bit better, and a bit brighter for our hero. <br/>Bear came here a diamond in the rough, but is now shining brightly. He just needs someone ready for a dog that may not dazzle with his antics, but will win you over with his heart. Maybe that person is you!

Sarge's Animal Rescue Foundation's Adoption Policy
Our adoption applications are located at https://www.sarges.org/adopt-a-pet/. Our adoptable cats and dogs are taken directly from Shelters, Rescues and Individuals in Western North Carolina. They are all tested for heartworm or FeLV/FIV, given appropriate vaccinations and preventatives for heartworms/fleas/ticks, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. The basic adoption fee is $50 for cats and $75 for kittens. Please contact us by email to find out about the cost of adoption for dogs - these fees range from $50 to $125 for adult dogs, and $175 for puppies. We also have adoption specials that take place - please visit www.sarges.org for more details. We have some animals in foster care, so please contact us before making a visit to meet a specific animal. The quickest way to get the ball rolling is an adoption application. It does not commit you to adopting - it just starts the conversation. We adopt animals out every day we are open so some animals may have pending applications already on file.
