Bear's Story

What he lacks in legs, sweet resilient BEAR makes up for in spirit – and love!<br/><br/>3-legged Bear doesn’t let his ruff start in life get him down; he is still a normal, happy dog with a wonderful personality! Bear is 2 years old and 65 lbs and had his front right leg amputated when he was attacked by another dog as a puppy. At this time, Bear does not need ongoing veterinary care pertaining to his leg, but he does need the right home (on 1 level with no stairs) and simple things, like a harness with a handle. Although Bear is non-reactive to other dogs, this was unfortunately, this was not the last time Bear was attacked. Poor 3 legged Bear was surrendered to the city shelter 2 days before Christmas with his muzzle and back covered in dog bites. His scared but gentle and friendly personality quickly made him a staff favorite as he spent the holidays in the shelter. Bear then became super lucky and has been in a loving foster home since March 2024, where he is described as the "perfect guest".<br/><br/>Bear is a great dog! He is super friendly with all people, with a mellow personality, never whining or barking, and previously lived with kids and a cat. Bear is easily won over with some treats, which he loves and is food-motivated. Bear has a medium energy level, who prefers to play rather than walk – playing with balls is his favorite, but he does love his stuffed animals so much he will want to bring them with him on a walk! Bear is well-mannered and easy-going in his foster home, with so much love to give! He is a snuggler who even is good in the bath. Bear is neutered, up to date on vaccines, healthy, and house-trained. With consistency, love, and a home without stairs, Bear will make the ulti-mutt loving companion! <br/><br/>Bear was not dealt a very fair hand in life, but he takes it all in his charming 3-legged stride. It is so easy to fall in love with Bear, and he wants to fall in love with you too!<br/><br/>If you are interested in learning more about Bear, please contact AmsterDog at 917-689-8414 or email info@amsterdog.org. You can apply to foster, adopt, or foster-to-adopt Bear at AmsterDog.org.<br/><br/>Thank you for caring about a pet in need!
