Bear

My story

Bear is 7 years old and has been with me since he was 1. I rescued him and was not told about his behavioral issues at the time but have come to learn it is abuse-related. Now, he truly is such a good and loving boy and can never get enough pets. He loves fetch and does great with dogs and cats, as he’s been raised with both. However, Bear does have a biting history, triggered by scolding and any type of physical contact in a disciplining manner, and picking him up to move him/tugging on him etc. Therefore his temperament requires a home with no children.. which is what lead to this decision. We are expecting a little one and while my oldest son understands the boundaries set, a toddler will not and I cannot take that risk. He would do best outdoors, with room to roam. I pray someone gives him a chance, he has so much good to give and is so incredibly smart, almost to a fault! He just needs the right chance.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Bear, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
