Bear

This is Bear. He turned 4 years old in April. He is quite energetic but he’s also super smart and sweet. He’s easily trained and loves to be outside running around. He does have a lot of herding breed in him so when he plays, he does nip. He’s never bitten any of us really hard with the intent to hurt us but he will nip just to get our attention. I’m sure that’s a habit that can be broken but since it’s in his breed, I’m not 100% sure. He’s up to date on all of his vaccines. He’s on sympirica trio and I have a few more of those left.

I have a few leashes, a crate, an outdoor dog house, airtight food container, some toys, hair clippers, and food bowls that can be donated with him as well.

We have had him since he was 2 months old. My ex and daughter got him one day while I was working and he was their dog but when we broke up, he left the dog with us. I’ve asked him multiple times if he wants him but he won’t take him. I’m now a single mother of 2 (11 years old and 4 months old) so adding a dog into that isn’t easy. The financial strain alone is hurting me. Please let me know if you’re able to help or lend any other resources! Thank you!
