In the shelter’s words
Bear was probably born the middle of November. We are guessing she is German Shepherd/Malamute mix. She is a big pile of fluff, with soulful eyes and a gentle spirit.She was given away at 6 weeks old in front of WalMart to a homeless man, who soon abandoned her near the homeless shelter. She had a severe skin infection and a broken spirit.Bear has fully recovered from the skin infection, but is still unsure with people. She cowers down and requires gentle correction with lots of appropriate praise. Her wagging tail tells you she wants love, but she's not sure what to expect in new situations. Bear loves other dogs and ignores the cats in her foster home. She is looking for a patient adopter that is willing to put in the extra effort she requires to become a great pet. She will need to be mostly indoors in our California heat due to her thick coat. She will thrive in a home with schedules and structure.
