About Pear

Meet Pear! This distinguished gentleman is 10 years young and boasts the sweetest soul and the goofiest personality. With his handsome grey whiskers and gentle eyes, he may look like a senior, but don't let that fool you. Pear still has plenty of life, love, and silliness left to share. He's been waiting patiently for a home of his own, originally from Dallas Animal Services, he found safety in foster care and has been hoping his perfect person would come along ever since.

Pear is what we like to call a "simple guy." He loves being outside, going on long, brisk walks, and rolling around in the grass like it's the best thing that's ever happened to him. Give him a yard and he will happily entertain himself with zoomies, sunbathing, and his signature goofy rolls. He also loves enrichment, especially shredding cardboard or paper, and is very food motivated. Chicken is his love language! At home, Pear is calm, steady, and incredibly easy to live with. He thrives on routine, is potty trained, and does great when left alone with no separation anxiety. He'll happily nap nearby, follow you from room to room, and greet you with quiet excitement when you come home. It's that perfect mix of companionship without being overwhelming. After all this time, Pear deserves his happily ever after. A yard to roll in, a person to love, and a place to finally call home.

Ideal Home

Pear would do best in a quiet, adult-only home (no children under 13) where he can be the only pet. He's looking for a peaceful environment without a lot of commotion, and a family willing to let him take things at his own pace, especially when meeting new people. He also does best without a crate, so his future home should be able to accommodate that.

Ongoing Health

All Dallas Pets Alive adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon adoption.

Training & Support

While Pear can get a little excited when he sees other animals on leash, he's working on it and continues to make progress. What he really wants is a calm, loving home where he can feel safe, understood, and finally settled.
