Bear - Adopted!

Bear is 12 yo and was surrendered to the shelter in Waukesha because his owner had a brain tumor and the woman's guardian put him in the shelter. He is a very good and quiet dog and from the moment he arrived he has not given me a moment of work or stress. He is so little work and is very compliant. He has never "quarreled" with any of my dogs (I have 3).<br/><br/>He loves his walks and loves to eat but is polite with both. He is very easy to walk, does not pull, but does like to sniff a lot. I have been walking him a mile a day and i do walk him 2 miles a couple of times a wk and on occasion I have walked him 3 miles and he does fine. He does also love to walk around the back yard and explore.<br/><br/>He has met big dogs and little dogs and children and is very polite with them. He's a dear boy and I am very attached to him. He was quite depressed when he came as i suspect he had a quiet routine previously and going to the shelter was very disruptive to him. It took several weeks before he came out of his funk and started acting like a normal dog again.<br/><br/>He is very healthy, has the teeth of a much younger dog, and has no health issues. We did do blood work and it all came back normal. So for a senior dog he is in surprisingly good health. He does not struggle to get up and walks well as i mentioned. He is a svelte 53 lbs. (at least he was when i picked him up at the shelter and he gets 1 cup of food in the AM and one in the evening so I am careful with them gaining weight).<br/><br/>When I first brought him home, I did not want to put him in a crate because he is older so he has always had free roam of the house and is very, very dependable. He is a damn near perfect dog which is why it took me so long to post him. He does like to sleep a lot and has a sweet and endearing snore.
