Here's what the humans have to say about me:
**ADOPTION PENDING**
Bear is a 6 year old gentle giant who would love to spend the day snuggled on the sofa with his humans. He will gladly present his rear end for scratching, roll over for belly rubs, and loves to be brushed! He is a big boy who doesn't need to try very hard to reach things on the counter or a high shelf. Typical of his breed, Bear is smart and crafty, and strong enough to move obstacles out of his way. Bear has a bit of separation anxiety and will try his best to zip out the door with his humans when they leave the house. His adoptive family will need to be vigilant about keeping him safe at home where he belongs guarding against open doors that might provide him with the few seconds he might need to make a run for it. Bear has never lived with dogs prior to his foster home, so he isn't quite sure how to communicate with them. His foster siblings are helping him learn how to be part of a pack however over time it's been made quite clear Bear prefers hanging out with a female dog as opposed to a male. Bear's doggie BFF is a 35 lb mixed breed female so breeds smaller than he is will be considered after an appropriate meeting. Bear will do best as an only dog or perhaps one female canine sibling. No cats, toy breeds, or other critters, please! Bear will not be a dog that would be comfortable at a dog park or daycare scenario.
Despite his size Bear is a sensitive guy who will need a patient, reassuring home to help him adjust to any major changes. In return, this loving dog promises a lifetime of companionship!
We provide adoption services to homes within a 100 mile radius of our West Chester, PA office. If you are outside of that area please contact a shelter or rescue group closer to your home. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption, microchipped, vaccinated, and evaluated in a private home. You will find details regarding our adoption policy, process, fee, and application on our website (www.arcticspiritrescue.org). Please be sure you meet the qualifications we have listed for the dog you would like to adopt. No exceptions are made regarding the dog's requirements and we take our time to find the perfect home. No dogs are shown without an approved application. We do not have a kennel facility. All of our dogs are fostered and evaluated in experienced private homes.
