Bear 's Story

Who says shelters never have purebred dogs? Couldn't be us. Meet Bear! A 4 year old Akita with the brains and bark to prove it. This dog is incredible. He is playful, protective and just gorgeous. Bear walks wonderfully on a leash, is house trained, and loves fiercely. He enjoys being outside, prancing around, and playing ball with his human pals. We recommend a meet and greet with any future K9 companions, based on Bear's dominate akita personality. *CONTACT SHELTER DIRECTLY BY PHONE FOR MORE INFORMATION AND STATUS UPDATES* Shelter Hours Below: Tuesday through Friday- 10:00AM to 4:30PM Saturday- 10:00AM to 3:30PM (Appt Only Please) Sunday- Closed Monday- Closed 12471 Taylor Complex Lane, Ashland, VA 23005 804 365 6485 Opt. 2
