Bear -- URGENT!

Bear is a 10-year-old Alaskan Malamute who is urgently seeking his forever home. He arrived at the Kern County Animal Services - Bakersfield Shelter on January 16th, 2026, and has been patiently waiting for his chance at a happy life. The shelter is currently facing overcrowding, and Bear, like many other dogs over five months old, is at high risk.

Ideal Home

Bear is a large dog and would likely do best in a home with ample space. Due to the circumstances of his current situation, we do not have specific information about his ideal home environment or any dealbreakers.

Ongoing Health

Bear is up-to-date on vaccinations and has been spayed or neutered. We do not have information on any specific health conditions or procedures he has undergone.

Training & Support

Currently, Bear is not house-trained. He will require a dedicated owner willing to provide consistent training and support to help him learn and adjust.

Application Details:

• Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
