S&L Animal Rescue, Inc. • Pittstown, NJ
There is an absolutely adorable eight-year-old boy who is hoping for a Christmas miracle — or at least a home by New Year’s. Bear is dreaming of starting 2026 surrounded by a loving family, and he is so deserving of that chance. Bear’s story hasn’t been easy. He was abandoned and later surrendered after we discovered he did, in fact, have an owner. Despite everything he’s been through, Bear remains gentle, loving, and full of heart. Bear is estimated to be around 8–8½ years old and is a short, squatty guy with a basset hound–type build. He has a long body, very short legs, and an absolutely irresistible smile that will melt your heart the moment you meet him. He is currently thriving in a foster home, where he’s enjoying the comforts of home life and the love of compassionate humans. Bear loves to snuggle in his bed, play with toys, and soak up all the affection he can get. He is house-trained and doing wonderfully with everyone he meets. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion to welcome into your home, Bear could be your perfect match. If interested in adopting, please apply online at www.easelnj.org/application-dog/Bear is currently in foster care, so an appointment will be needed to meet this sweet boy. Let’s help Bear find the forever home he deserves — maybe even in time for the holidays. ❤️ Adoption by appointment only with an approved adoption application. Please go to www.easelnj.org/adopt to submit an adoption application. Someone will be in touch within 48 hours.
