Call 320-252-0896 to arrange a meet-and-greet**<br/><br/>Meet Dr. Doctor - though his friends simply call him Bear!<br/><br/>Bear is a sweet boy who may need a little time to warm up to new people, but once he gets comfortable, his happy and joyful personality shines through. He has been described as a confident dog who enjoys making the most of every day.<br/><br/>He is lucky enough to be staying in a foster home, where he is doing just great with the resident dog. "He is such a sweetie towards me and protective of us and our home. He does this thing where he puts his head into you and then pushes against you. He loves to sleep with a human and doesn't stir all night." He loves always being near his foster. <br/><br/>As far as the cats in the foster home, Bear does like to chase them. Some of them hold their ground with him, but Bear might do best in a home without cats. His foster did say he does listen to "no" when he's being a little too much with the cats. <br/><br/>Bear's foster reports he is housetrained, and he responded well to training. He knows "sit" and is getting really skilled at waiting to eat until he's told "eat."<br/><br/>In his previous home, Bear was comfortable both being kenneled and free-roaming in the house. He lived with children and did very well with them. As with any new pet, slow and proper introductions to new faces and places are always recommended to help everyone adjust successfully.<br/><br/>Bear can be enthusiastic on leash and may pull during walks. If you're looking for a way to make walks more enjoyable, ask TCHS staff about The Walkie available in our Re-Tail Shoppe. Consistent training and positive reinforcement can help Bear continue building good leash manners.<br/><br/>If you're searching for a loyal companion with a big heart, a joyful spirit, and a name impressive enough to have earned two diplomas, Bear may be the perfect fit for your family!<br/><br/>*Adoption Ambassador (AA) animals are available for adoption but reside in a TCHS foster home instead of in the shelter. Meet-and-greets are scheduled in a first-come, first-served manner. Adoption holds are NOT accepted on AA animals unless the potential adopter has already met the animal. If you are interested in meeting this AA pet, meet-and-greets may be scheduled by calling 320-252-0896.<br/><br/>*Adoption holds may be placed on available animals in person or by calling 320-252-0896. An adoption hold reserves available animals for one day after the animal is ready to be adopted. More than one adoption hold may be placed on an available animal and will be honored in the order they were received. Adoption holds are $25 plus tax, are non-refundable, non-transferable and not applied toward the adoption fee.<br/><br/>**Minnesota sales tax and an administrative fee ($20 for cats/dogs and $10 for small animals) will be applied to all adoptions. Donations and adoption fees help cover the cost of spay/neuter surgeries, microchipping, vaccinating, deworming, any medical procedures, and general care of all shelter animals.
