Bear

Bear / M / 13Y / 10lbs / Toy poodle mix / Fostered in Meaford

Bear loves being beside his person and will tuck himself in to them as close as he can get. He also loves his snacks! He will be your little shadow and will follow you around the house everywhere. He is extremely sweet, laid back, calm, and quiet. He is a very easy dog to have around and it's impossible not to immediately fall in love with him. He does really well in the car and did great when he was groomed.

Bear is house trained with frequent trips outside (every 3 hours). He may mark in the house though when he first moves in, especially if there are other dogs in the home but he tolerates having a belly band on well.  He does not like being in a crate but is trusted free roaming when left alone. He has excellent leash manners and is currently getting five 10 minute walks a day. He's low energy but is active for a 13-year-old dog. He has been left alone for up to 5 hours and did well. He may whine for a few minutes at first, but quickly settles and falls asleep. He does have a low-grade heart murmur but does not currently require any medication. He did have a dental when he came into our care and had his remaining three teeth removed and a nasal fistula repaired. He is also receiving apoquel twice a day for allergies (approx $80/month). 

Bear is great when meeting new people and loves to get lots of attention. He is good with other dogs, cats, and respectful children 6+. He would love a family who is home often to give him lots of cuddles and affection. He loves to sleep in bed cuddled up beside his person.  His adoption fee is $500.
