My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This sweet boy was left behind by his adored owner, through no fault of his. It very nearly broke his heart. He's coming around & is trusting with his whole heart again. He is SUPER smart (can open doors), and loyal to a fault. We'd like to see him go to a forever home with someone who can be with him a lot. Retired, take-your-dog-to-work adopter would be perfect. He is dog door trained & 100% accident free. No known serious
baggage, i.e.; no storm, vet, or stranger phobias. Rides nicely in vehicle, behaves himself anywhere in public on leash. He will not be adopted to a working home as a livestock guardian. Pet/companion family only. Inside dog with outside privileges. Fenced yard required. Loves everyone but
Is also very fond of men. Unusual for a rescue dog. UTD on all vacs, 4DX, micro chipped. Prefer Midwest, we will not put him on a commercial animal transport. Private vehicle only. Email us bearcreekrescue@gmail.com, we will try & get back to you within 24 hrs.

More about this rescue

Bear Creek Equine Rescue & Sanctuary is a private, stand alone safe haven/sanctuary for unwanted equines, along with several other species. We do not, have never, nor will never euthanize for space. We accept placement of all species by private treaty only from local veterinarians' referrals, law enforcement, court seizures, and donation via owner's bequeath or written request. We have 10 different breeds here of feral & domestic horses, mules, ponies and burros from all over the US & Canada, as well as dogs, cats, llamas, cows, chickens, potbelly pigs, sheep, goats, ducks & geese, all of them rescues. We are a medical rescue and can accept animals with treatable chronic health problems or injuries. Our goal is to provide these abandoned, abused, and neglected animals with lifetime quality care, recovery, rehabilitation, and a future safe from ending up at the slaughter plant for the remainder of their natural days. When their time with us comes to an end, all animals here are given a decent, respectful burial on the farm. It's the right thing to do. We have a restricted adoption program, as most of the animals here are considered unadoptable due to age, health, or high risk safety issues resulting from earlier abuse. The equine adopters that qualify have to be very special people. We do however, network with other reputable rescues nationwide, transferring and accepting transfers when the change is in the best interest of the animal due to climate, or special treatment available at particular veterinary hospital facilities in another part of the country.
