Bear's Story

Meet Bear!<br/>This adorable, incredibly resilient and loving little guy is ready to finally find his actual forever family. He has been through quite a lot in his life, not all of which is known, but that has lead him to being in rough condition. When he arrived to the shelter, he had already seen the vet for his severe skin infection and being noticeably very thin. He is currently receiving 2-3 medicated baths a week. Bear is a perfect gentlemen for his baths and allows the shampoo to sit for the full 10 minutes with no fuss. He walks wonderfully on a leash, knows "sit" and "paw," is very food and treat motivated, and has shown signs of possible house training. While he may not appear physically perfect, his heart is loving and his personality is truly precious. If you are up for a little guy that just needs some more TLC to get fully back on his feet, I can promise Bear will make any efforts worth it. Come meet him today!!
