My story

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

Bear's Story: His elderly owner was terminally ill and did not want Bear to watch him die. The gentleman dropped Bear off in a nice neighborhood hoping someone would take Bear in and give him and good home. Animal control picked Bear up but didn't return him since the caregiver was fearful the owner would again abandon Bear in a misguided attempt to find him a new home.

Our rescue pulled Bear and had him neutered, vaccinated, HW tested (negative) and started on preventative. Bear is both sweet and a little "snarky". What Chihuahua isn't?? Bear is appx. 10 years old but has a lot of life in him. He likes to cuddle on the sofa with his human and sleep under the covers in bed. He happily wears a belly band in the house but doesn't soil it and really doesn't need it most of the time. He is crate trained and goes in easily for a treat.

Bear does get snappy when he is scared. We have been working on trust and making strides but Bear will need patience while he builds that trust again.
