My story

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

--FOSTER PUPDATE--
Belch A167842
53 lb. Neutered Male, approx 2 years old

Bear (A167842) is a lovable, 53-lb neutered male, approximately 2 years old, and currently in a foster home. He’s full of love and ready to find his forever family! And yes, his name is Bear now—because while “Belch” might get a laugh, this sweet boy deserves a name as wonderful as he is. Here’s why Bear is a paws-down amazing companion:
- Love Bug Alert! He adores being with his people and is happiest when giving and receiving love.
- Dog-Friendly: Bear plays wonderfully with his foster sibling and knows when it's time to rest. (Proper introductions recommended!)
- Best in a Cat-Free Home: While Bear loves people and dogs, a home without cats is ideal for this sweet pup.
- Food Motivated & Smart: At a recent training class, instructors raved about how smart and eager to learn he is. Training with him is both fun and rewarding!
- Adventure Buddy: Bear enjoys walks and car rides. He’s ready to explore this world with you!
- Potty Trained: ALMOST! Bear knows where to go, it’s just a matter of learning his signals that he needs to go outside.
- Quick Learner: Bear listens well and responds promptly when redirected.
- Attention needed: While Bear is great with his foster siblings and neighbor dogs, he does show signs of reactivity while around unknown dogs and on leash. He will need a patient human to help teach him even stranger dogs can be friends.
A Note About Bear's Health: Bear is heartworm positive, but don’t let that scare you! Heartworms are treatable, and Bear’s treatment is already complete! He’ll just need a retest in September to confirm the little rascals are all gone. With your care and support, Bear can go on to live a long, happy, and healthy life.
Bear is a wonderful companion ready to bring joy and love to your home. This good boy is ready to be your best buddy—don’t miss out! 🐶✨
