My story

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

 Meet Bear: Our Resilient Australian Shepherd Chow Mix!    

 After a month of getting to know Bear better, we have some exciting updates to share. Bear first came to Pet Savers a few years ago and was quickly adopted. Unfortunately, he was returned to us after a couple of years due to reported aggressive tendencies. While Bear never bit anyone, he show signs of aggression(we’ve never seen any aggressive behavior at Pet Savers). 

 After plenty of rest and a thorough check-up by our vet, we discovered that Bear had a sore neck, likely causing his behavior. Now, he's doing much better and gets along well with everyone he meets at Pet Savers. He may bark a lot through the fence, but once he's out, he behaves just fine. 

 Now that Bear is feeling better, we'll start temperament testing him with other dogs to see if he's compatible. We are confident he would thrive in a loving home with people who understand not to pull on his neck or handle him roughly on a leash to avoid re-injury. 

 Bear is now available for adoption and ready to find his forever home. He’s a wonderful Australian Shepherd Chow mix, up-to-date on all vaccinations, and eager to meet you. Come visit us and give Bear a chance!
