CUDDLE BEAR's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.CUDDLE BEAR hails from the Northern community of Poplar Hill and came south with his sister, Love Bug, to find his forever home. He’s received his three sets of puppy vaccines including a rabies shot, a microchip, dewormer and has been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. He was part of a litter of 6 puppies but this rescue just received the remaining 2 of them. The “Valentines Duo” and their 4 siblings were found all alone with no parents so the breeds we have him listed as is just an educated guess based on what he looks like, although his sister does look just like a Border Collie so that’s one of the reasons why we have him listed as a cross with that breed. He also has a curled tail so that could well mean that he has part Husky in him too. The same can be said about the size he’ll grow to be as without knowing his parents, we really have no idea how big he’ll get. He’s a very quiet little guy and he certainly lives up to his name and is the cuddliest little guy you could ever meet. He loves his hoomans and follows them around everywhere they go as he doesn’t want to miss out on any cuddles they maybe able to put his way. As well as being a cuddly boy, he’s also a typical active little puppy who loves to run around and play and also chew on his teething toys. He’s such a super smart boy as he is bilingual and knows all his basic commands in both English and French.<br/><br/>CUDDLE BEAR has been bit of a challenge to get crate trained as he just doesn’t like to be in there. His foster now gives him a Nyla bone to chew on when she puts him in there and that seems to help. At night his crate door is open and surrounded by an X-pen so he’s still contained but he has more space, which he seems to prefer. However, he’s in his crate when home alone for a few hours during the day and he’s on camera so although he’ll make a fuss when he first goes in there, it doesn’t take too long before he settles down. House training is going really well and he will cry to go outside for a bathroom break. He will have the odd accident still if the signs are missed that he needs to go outside so it is still a work in progress for him. He really enjoys his walks and he also hikes on the trails that surround his foster home. He gets excited when he knows he’s going out in them too. Walking sometimes can be a bit slow as he loves to sniff around and investigate everything he sees. He’s very well mannered at meal times and does “sit” nicely for them and he will also take his treats “gentle.” He knows all of the basic commands n both French and English and listens very well and has great recall when he’s called “Bear.”<br/><br/>CUDDLE BEAR’s ideal family would be an active one who loves the outdoors and to go on hikes and walks in the woods. He does well in a vehicle so will always be up for a drive, especially if it leads to an adventure for him. He’s very well socialized with dogs as he has three in his foster home and he’s loved every dog he’s met on his walks so he would definitely suit being in a home with other dogs. He’s not met a cat but seeing as he’s such a gentle boy, he should do fine with one in his adoptive home. We do strongly recommend a slow, monitored introduction while he’s leashed for the first few times they meet or interact. He should do well as an only pet in the home provided he’s not left alone for long periods of time and definitely not crated for more than a few hours during the day. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be loving, gentle and kind towards animals. He does require a fenced-in yard so he can be kept safe while he has a run around and play outside.<br/><br/>CUDDLE BEAR, like all puppies, is cute, playful and fun but also require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. We do need his adopter to be in agreement to take him for puppy/obedience training to help him to become the best boy possible. His neuter is included in his adoption fee and his adopter must be in agreement to have him neutered by the time he’s 9 months of age or 60lbs (whichever comes first.) The surgery will be at the Barrie SPCA but you can use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it there. In order for the rescue to do so we need the neuter requirements to still be followed plus a copy of the procedure invoice and a picture of him (preferably in a cone) in order to do the reimbursement. We do post the picture on our fb page along with other pets that were “fixed” in the same week.<br/><br/>If CUDDLE BEAR sounds like he’ll suit your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet him.
