About Bear

Sweet and handsome Bear! This wonderful boy was surrendered to the shelter due to the health of his owner. It is clear he was so loved. He is about 4.5 years old and over 100 pounds. He knows commands: sit, come, heel and (when he feels like being a good listener) stay. He is good on the leash, LOVES playing ball, is very friendly and is a great family dog. Bear does best with female dogs and is also fine being the only dog in a home.

Ideal Home

Bear is a great family dog and loves to play ball! He does best with female dogs or can be the only dog in the home.

Ongoing Health

Bear is up to date on vaccinations, deworming, and flea/heartworm prevention. He will receive a health exam and certificate from a veterinarian within 10 days of departure.

Training & Support

Bear knows several commands including sit, come, heel, and stay. He is good on the leash.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

  • The adoption contract and fee are finalized prior to transport.
  • RTB reserves the right to deny any application deemed unsuitable for the animal. Adoptions are not first come, first serve; the goal is to find the best home for each animal.
