Little Bear's Story

Little Bear is a 5-year-old Labrador Retriever/Beagle mix with a mostly black coat and a heart full of love for his people. This sweet boy adores adults and thrives on human companionship. He's affectionate, loves to snuggle, and gets genuinely excited when visitors come to the home. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will make you the center of his world, Little Bear is ready to be your shadow.<br/><br/>Little Bear does best in a calm, predictable environment where he can be the main focus. He's housetrained, does well in the yard, and walks decently on leash without pulling. He's treat motivated and enjoys all the pets and attention you can give him.<br/><br/>While Little Bear loves people, he's much more selective about canine company. He needs slow, measured introductions with other dogs, as quick meetings can overwhelm him and cause him to cower or retreat. He may tolerate another dog in the home, but he tends to tire of them after a while and would honestly prefer to have his humans all to himself. When encountering dogs on walks, he'll pull on the leash to escape the situation.<br/><br/>His ideal home would be with adults only or a family with older, respectful children who understand his need for a peaceful environment. Little Bear is looking for someone who wants a devoted one-on-one relationship with a dog who will give them his whole heart.<br/><br/>Requirements: Calm home, adults or older children, ideally the only pet or very careful consideration with other dogs.

Operation Paws for Homes's Adoption Policy
Our organization provides pet adoption services to families located in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania and neighboring states. We believe in responsible adoptions and strive to work with each adopter to find a good match for their home and lifestyle. Our adoption process includes completion of an application, a vet check, an interview, and a personal “meet and greet” where the family can meet and interact with their potential new four-legged family member. Throughout this process, we work to ensure each family and dog are the right fit for each other. We are fortunate to have some wonderful and active volunteers who help OPH find forever homes for over 1,000 dogs and cats a year. The key to that statement is - volunteer! Please remember that our organization is driven by caring individuals who give their personal time to help rescue these animals and provide them with the opportunity to find an amazing future! In addition to adoptions, volunteers carry out education and outreach events throughout the area, and conduct donation drives for our partner shelters in the south. Our goal is to offer a second chance to dogs and cats abandoned in shelters and out of time. Sadly, without our help, some of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - sometimes within days of arriving at the shelter. Each year we rescue hundreds of wonderful dogs and cats. We work hard to unite them with forever families who will give them the life and love they deserve. These animals are saved only because of the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors, and volunteers.
