Bear's Story

10/17/26 In New England. <br/>Bear was adopted from us when he was a little baby. He is now about 9-10 months old and he is in need of a new home. Bear is energetic and kind hearted. He loves other dogs and kids. He would greatly benefit from a structured home, with a family who is willing to invest some time in training him. His current family has been unsuccessful at house training him, and he has a habit of jumping up in excitement, which poses a fall risk to the grandparents who visit frequently. I believe these issues are related to not getting enough exercise, not enough structure, and just him being an adolescent puppy who is still learning and growing. I believe in a few months, some these issues will resolve but in the meantime he needs a new home with a family who will be patient but will also take the lead with training him and giving him lots of exercise. He is leash trained and fully vetted. In New England. <br/><br/>To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059<br/><br/>email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.

Adopt A Stray Rescue's Adoption Policy
Our adoption process begins with an adoption application, which requires 3 non family personal references and a vet reference if the applicant has had pets in the past 5 years. We check all references, asking about their home, yard, available time for a pet, financial capability of caring for a pet, etc. We contact their vet on file and verify that past or present pets have been spayed/neutered and kept up to date on recommended vaccinations as well as heartworm prevention. If all references check out, we then use various social media apps and google to make sure there are no red flags, then we move forward with the adoption if all of that checks out.
