Story
Bear is about 3 years old and was rescued by my son from being killed. He was working in a kennel and the county brought an abandoned/lost dog. over the next 2 month my son developed a bond with the dog and could not let him be destroyed. over the last 2 years my son socialized and trained Bear, got him neutered/shots/micro chipped/obidence/potty on comand. My son is now in college with the dog in a small appartment and a college schedule. Both Bear and my son are stressed and this is what is best for both of them. He saved Bear, now he needs to let him go to a better home. Bear's favorite activity is chasing his frisbie and bringing it back to you. He would rather do this than eat treats.

This dog needs consistent work with training. We have had her for about 5 years and with our growing family we do not have the time and effort to put into the training. Training needs mainly include food-snatching, counter surfing and staying off tables/counters, and leash training. She is very loving and needs a home that can accommodate her high energy and food anxiety.
