Bear

Meet our Short King: Bear!<br/>Bear is a 2 year old neutered male Super Mutt. His previous owner believed there was some Australian Cattle Dog and Boston Terrier thrown into the mix, but there's obviously multiple breeds going on in his DNA. Regardless of his breed makeup, he is of course a very adorable guy!<br/>You know those visual gag scenes where a guy sitting at a bar looks super mean and super tough, but then he stands up and he is actually really short? <br/>That is the kind of moment we had when we first met Bear. We could see Bear in the pickup through the windows when his previous owner pulled in and we were instantly talking about how he's gunna be a big boy. Then a few minutes later, the door opens and we all went "Oh..?" Turns out that Bear is actually a low rider and not a big bad mama jama! You can tell from his photos that he has cute stubby legs, and that may trick you into thinking he's a small dog. In reality, this low-rider weighs a whopping 50 pounds! Keep this in mind if you're looking for a small dog, as Bear might not be the right fit for you.<br/>Bear was surrendered to HSHP after his previous owner decided he had too many dogs, and issues were beginning to arise within the pack's attitude towards one another. We don't have the full details on what exactly went down, but it's believed that Bear had began to go after the other males in the home especially during feeding time, treats, or a special toy. Given that this is a larger amount of dogs living together, it is possible this was the trigger to the sudden change is behavior for Bear. For now, we are gunna require any potential adopters with dogs to bring them all out to meet Bear. Once Bear has settled in a bit more we are planning on testing him with some of our own friendly dogs to get our own look at his behaviors. It is very likely he may prefer to live with female dogs rather than males. We do not know if Bear has lived around cats or how he would do with them. We can arrange to have him meet our office cats prior to adopting to see. Bear has lived around children and did good with them. Keep in mind, though, that with Bear's shy behavior we would need to ensure potential children in his new home can and will respect his space while he goes through his 3 week adjustment period. <br/>Please do note that Bear is rather when meeting new people and going new places. He has been very brave and sweet so far for us, but we are still allowing him time to decompress. He was born and raised on a farm and was used to the free roaming lifestyle and is not used to wearing a leash. He should pick up leash training super quick! He is reported to be housetrained but give him grace as he needs to adjust to a new routine! <br/>This precious baby boy is current on his core vaccines and is ready to find a home with less dogs and more people love! If you think Bear could be the pooch for you, come out and meet him today!
