Bear Husky Los Angeles, CA

Bear’s story is one that truly reminds us why we do what we do. This beautiful 6-year-old brown and white Husky was one of the longest residents at SEAACA, as the days turned into weeks and then months, Bear began to shut down, his spirit fading as he lost hope that anyone would come for him. Just days before his time was up, he got his second chance, and we couldn’t be more grateful that he did.
When Bear first arrived to safety, he was scared, quiet, and unsure of the world around him. His eyes told the story of a dog who had endured too much and trusted too little. But slowly, with patience and love, he began to open up. The shy, uncertain dog we first met is now showing glimpses of a gentle, affectionate soul, who just needed someone to believe in him.
Bear thrives in calm environments, and does wonderfully with other dogs who have a relaxed, steady energy. Overly energetic or dominant dogs can make him nervous, but around balanced companions, he enjoys quiet company and gains confidence.
He’s still on his journey of learning that the world can be kind, but every day brings progress, a wagging tail, a soft nudge, or a curious sniff. Watching him come out of his shell has been incredibly rewarding.
Bear is looking for a patient, loving home, where he can continue to heal and feel safe. He may take time to trust, but once he does, you’ll see just how special he is, a truly gentle soul, who will love you deeply and quietly, in the way only rescued dogs know how.
