Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 200. Bear exudes an energy of joy, hope and mischief! He is a sweet older dog (14-15) who is seeking a house that can offer him kindness and patience. He is still learning how to potty outside. He learned quickly how to navigate stairs and walk on a leash, so we’re hopeful he’ll master house training soon.He is a Shepherd mix and weighs around 50 lbs. After living outdoors on a farm for 15 years, Bear is now learning about retirement and being indoors. He now enjoys slow daily walks around the neighborhood and then happily settles into his peaceful naps. He has a puppy-like energy when playing with his toys and loves sniffing around and exploring. Bear has done well in his crate when sleeping at night. He settles within a few minutes, keeps his crate clean all night and stays in his crate until morning. That being said, we have also tested him out of his crate, having him sleep on his bed next to us at night and he does similarly well - stays put on his bed all night….but, he is a champion snorer! Bear is super chill and excellent with other animals and kids. Bear’s sight and hearing are compromised, but he doesn’t let that stop him from enjoying life. Bear may need some special attention paid to his diet in his first few weeks. He requires softer food due to worn teeth and has had some tummy troubles since his rescue. Bear has some pain associated with hip and elbow arthritis but cosequin and pain meds seem to be helping him. Aside from joint pain, though, Bear has no known medical issues. Bear is ready for his next family to spoil him with ear and butt scratches. He’ll thank you with gentle licks and snuggles. If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $200 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
