Meet BEAR
Hello! I am Bear! I may be 11 years old, but I have lots of love to give! My height is lacking, I only come up to the knee of most adults, but my density is my strongest trait. I weigh in at a whopping 61.2#! I wouldnt mind loosing a few of those to be my healthiest self but hey, like my age....its just a number and dogs can't count! I am not a playful guy when it comes to other dogs, and to be honest I would probably prefer to be the only dog in your life. I am housebroken, and know all kinds of cues. (sit, stay, off, down, and come) I am looking for a home with teens to adults only. FWACC reserves the right to place me in my best fit home.
