My story

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


Woof! My name is Bear. I am a large and active dog in need of a great home that will continue to work with me on training and manners. My biggest motivator is people! I do know sit and how to give paw... although I may be a little too enthusiastic when giving paw and give you two paws up! Come meet me to see how goofy and fun I can be! I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm tested.

I am a friend who is available for foster-to-adopt! This means you can get some extra support from the RVSPCA staff and spend extra time getting to know me before I officially join your family!

To ensure success in my new home, I will go home with training sessions from one of the Roanoke Valley SPCA behavior partners, thanks to the Judith Goins Behavior Support Fund!

The Roanoke Valley SPCA offers adoptions by appointments Tuesday - Saturday between Noon and 7pm. Appointments can be made by calling 540-339-9247. Walk-in's will be offered the next available appointment. Pets are adopted on a first come basis. Unfortunately, we are unable to hold pets nor guarantee a pet will be available at the time of your appointment, but we do promise to call you if a pet is adopted prior to your appointment.

The Roanoke Valley SPCA has embraced Fear Free Shelters philosophy and are committed to giving each pet in our care a fear free experience while looking for their forever homes. The Fear Free® philosophy is designed to reduce the negative emotional states that are commonly experienced by shelter animals, including fear, anxiety, stress, and frustration. We offer virtual walk thru of available pets on our website and at our shelter. The end result is a happier, healthier new member of your family.

Call 540-339-9247 Tuesday - Saturday between Noon and 7 pm to speak with an adoption counselor for more information.
