In the shelter’s words

HI, I&#39M BEAR. I&#39M KIDS AND DOGS&#39 FRIENDLY! Meet Bear - a big, handsome lovebug! This 2-3 year old Shepherd mix is around 70 pounds, but don&#39t tell him--he&#39s convinced he&#39s a tiny lap dog. If you sit down, he&#39ll happily squeeze in beside you, paws on your lap and his big head tucked into your arms for snuggles. Bear looks like he smiles all the time and his tail never stops wagging. he is such a happy boy and a joy to be around. Saved at the very last moment from Polk County Shelter by BarkVille Dog Rescue, this handsome boy is now ready for his happily-ever-after. He&#39s smart as a whip and was professionally trained, so he perfectly knows his commands and it&#39s such a pleasure to walk him on the leash. Bear enjoys daily walks, would love a nice backyard to explore, and is a great passenger on car rides. This sweet boy adores people and other dogs. He&#39s house trained, crate trained (though he&#39d much prefer to be with you instead), fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Above all, he just wants to be close to his people and shower them with love. If you&#39re looking for a big-hearted companion who will fill your days with joy, cuddles, and loyalty, this boy is waiting just for you! For more information about this wonderful boy, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org.
