Bear Boone

Meet Bear Boone

Bear Boone is a 1.5-year-old, 75-pound neutered Lab/Australian Shepherd mix with the brains, beauty, and energy to match. This athletic, eager-to-please boy is house-trained, crate-trained, and already knows his basic commands-he's the total package, just waiting for the right home.

Bear is looking for a new beginning through no fault of his own. With a new baby in the home, his family wants to make sure he lands somewhere he can get the time, attention, and exercise he truly deserves.

True to his breed, Bear Boone is active, playful, and always ready for fun. He's an incredible frisbee catcher (seriously-this boy gets AIR) and loves a good game of fetch. An active home or a yard to run and play would be a dream for him.

He enjoys other dogs and does best with more submissive, easygoing companions who can match his playful, high-energy style. He's a big, happy goofball who sometimes forgets how big he is. A cat-free home is a must, as he does like to chase.

Inside, Bear settles in beautifully. He's content relaxing with a toy, hanging out with his people, or snoozing peacefully in his crate at night. He's the perfect mix of adventure buddy and couch companion.

Bear recently tested heartworm positive, but treatment is fully covered by Take Paws Rescue, so his future family will be supported every step of the way.

If you're looking for a loyal, smart, high-energy best friend who will keep you moving and then curl up beside you at the end of the day... Bear Boone is your guy.

Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue).

The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention.
