Description:

Meet Bear,

This sweet boy was due to be euthanized because of an injury to his tail and his anxiety in a kennel environment so he kept re injuring it. He came into the shelter with his tail broken in half. It had to be amputated partically above the break line as there was no fixing the tail. Unfortunately with his kennel anxiety in the shelter environment, he kept re opening the surgical site.

Now after several surgeries, Bear has a nub of a tail that is more easily maintained and less likely to open. he is all healed up and ready for his forever home.

He is an amazing boy with a kind gentle soul and will be the best possible friend you could ask for. he is a big boy who doesn't realize how big he is, so older kids are a must. He loves to walk and needs a lot of exercise to be a happy boy. He would be a great marathon runner.

He is definitely people oriented and will follow you to the couch for the football game, the bathroom, bedroom or around the yard and take in all the smells and sights while you garden or what ever happens to make you smile.

He will definitely make you smile. When he looks at you with those big brown eyes you can't help but want to love him. He wants to be around his people all the time, so he will not be quiet about being away fromt them.

He loves squirrels and will let you know when he has treed them. He is learning that one or two barks is enough to let you know.

He is social and happy and is enjoying life. He is house broken and walks well on a leash, knows his basic commands and wants to please.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
