About Bear

Bear is a sweet and handsome boy who was surrendered to the shelter due to his owner's health. He is about 4.5 years old and over 100 pounds. Bear knows several commands, including sit, come, heel, and stay (when he feels like being a good listener!). He is good on the leash, loves playing ball, is very friendly, and would make a great family dog. Bear does best with female dogs and is also fine being the only dog in a home.

Ideal Home

Bear would do well in a home with female dogs or as the only dog.

Ongoing Health

Bear is up-to-date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and flea/heartworm prevention. He will have a health exam and certificate issued by a veterinarian within 10 days of departure.

Training & Support

Bear knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. He enjoys playing ball.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • Adoption interviews/meet and greets occur on video call.
  • The adoption fee is $300 plus transport (varies by location). This fee includes all age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, a registered microchip, spay/neuter for pets 6 months & older, and a heartworm test if over 6 months old.
  • RTB reserves the right to deny any application that is deemed unsuitable for the animal. Adoptions are not on a first-come, first-served basis; the goal is to find the best possible home for each animal.

Transportation

Bear is currently fostered in Texas but is available for adoption and transport out of state to a predetermined location agreed upon by the rescue. The adoption contract and fee are finalized prior to transport.
