About Bear

Meet Bear!

Bear is a sweet, approximately 14-week-old, 16lb German Shepherd Mix with a heart of gold. He and his siblings had a tough start, found abandoned on the side of a Texas road, bravely dodging traffic. Thankfully, they were rescued and are now ready for loving homes. Pups like Bear often need a little extra patience and time to find their perfect match, but they grow into incredibly loyal companions.

Ideal Home

Bear would thrive in a home where he can continue to learn and grow.

Ongoing Health

Bear is neutered, up-to-date on all age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention.

Training & Support

As a young puppy, Bear will benefit from continued training and socialization to help him blossom into a well-adjusted adult dog. Consistency and positive reinforcement will be key to his success.

Application Details:

Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transporation

Bear is currently in Houston, TX. Transportation to approved adopters across the US is available and included in the adoption fee. Our dogs travel in climate-controlled vehicles with 24/7 care. Drop-off locations are designated public pickup points. The next transport date is 07/07/2026.
