cently returned to CAWS after his family had to move overseas, Bear is now searching for a forever home where he can enjoy love, comfort, and companionship in his golden years. This stunning gentleman recently had a dental procedure (23 teeth removed!) and is feeling so much better. He’s also on a weight-loss journey—he needs to lose about 20 pounds to reach a healthy weight, and he’s already making great progress. Bear has a calm, easygoing temperament and gets along beautifully with all the dogs in his foster home—big or small, male or female. He’s fully house-trained, rides like a dream in the car (with the help of his personal fold-up ramp), and is perfectly content lounging in his open-door crate or stretched out on the living room carpet until it’s time to head outside. Though he does have some arthritis, he’s on medication to help manage it, and as the weight comes off, it should improve even more. He’ll thrive in a home with a backyard, only a few stairs, and people who are around during the day—whether retired or working from home. That said, Bear can be fully trusted alone in the house when needed. Beyond his practicality, Bear is simply magnificent—graceful, gentle, and full of quiet dignity. He has no meanness in him, only warmth and loyalty. With an occasional brushing (or a spa day to keep his gorgeous coat shining), Bear will remain the showstopper he is. Bear is patiently waiting for a family who will make his remaining years the very best of his life. If you’re looking for a glorious, unconditional friend to share your days with, Bear is ready for his happily ever after. Schedule a meet-and-greet today—you’ll be glad you did. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process. All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $100.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
