Adoption Fees
DonatedMeet Bear (sponsored fee)
Bear came to the shelter as an owner surrender in October. He was adopted for about a month and returned after the adopter realized he was allergic to him. Bear is 4 to 5 years old and is a mix of black lab, blue heeler, and border collie. There could be some other things in there, too. He's a pretty laid back dude who likes some good exercise followed by chilling with his people. He has been fully vetted and chipped. His fee of $150 is sponsored/donated. Bear is just an all around good boy. He's smart and has had some basic training. He enjoys learning and is eager to please. He can coexist with other dogs but isn't one to really romp and frolic with them. He has done okay with older kids. Bear is pretty active and strong and will require some good exercise. He's doing well with his leash walking skills. We really like him at the shelter and were heartbroken when he was returned. Bear does have a bit of a mischievous streak. He will run and play a good game of "catch me if you can" if given the opportunity. A fenced yard would really butter his toast!
