Are you looking looking for a very big, lovable, gentle dog who is always happy, happy, happy?
Then Bear is the one!

This large fluffy guy just loves to be touched, brushed and scratched, and then he will roll over for his belly to be rubbed. Of course, his foster is more than willing to oblige.

Bear is good with other dogs.
He is also good with people, but needs a few minutes to get comfortable with new humans and surroundings.

Bear is blind in one eye due to a birth defect and a bit head shy at first, especially on his blind side. All you need to do is talk sweet to him and reassure him once he’s comfortable with you. After that, he will do anything in the world for you.

This senior fluffer is also house and crate trained…..will hold it no matter what. He also rides well in a car.

Due to his partial blindness, he would do best with older, not so active young adults; no small kids. And he can still be a bit jumpy.

Bear may initially protective of his home and due to his size, can appear a bit daunting, but he is a true teddy bear of a dog; as we already said, always happy.

He is always the first dog to greet his foster when he arrives home…..just a fantastic boy!!!

Check out his video with his friend, Dearest Drew (also up for adoption!)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
