Popcorn Park: Beautiful Bear Is Still Waiting For A Home

LACEY TOWNSHIP - Bear, a 10-year-old shepherd mix, was understandably depressed when the people who had owned him since he was a puppy surrendered him to the Associated Humane Animal Shelter at Popcorn Park back in June 2016.

He might have a few years on him, but this older guy still has plenty of spunk. He can be active and playful and gets along just fine, despite a little arthritis, according to a post on the shelter's Facebook page.

Bear has excellent manners and has had a lot of training in his life. Watch this brief video of Bear.

"He is housebroken, of course, and is always is a perfect gentleman," the post states. "He can be a little shy when he meets new people, but just let him check you out for a few minutes and you'll be the best of friends."

Bear would do best if he were the only pet, "...due to experiences in his past that have left him a little apprehensive of other pets and small children," according to the post. "Bear has so much love to give though you won't need much else in your life."

Bear's file number is #26351. If you're interested in adopting Bear, click here for more information.

If you can't adopt Bear, but still want to give him a little extra love and attention, you can become his part-time pet parent. Bear has been added to the shelter's Share-A-Pet program. Click here to find out how you can help: https://www.ahscares.org/shop/item.asp.
