Bear arrived at NCCR on 10/14/24, surrendered when a child in his family developed severe complications from allergies that required hospitalization; Doctor’s orders, the dog must go! Bear is a neutered male Labrador mix, approximately 1 year and 3 months old now. His family reports the following: He sleeps in a crate and doesn’t mind it – At bedtime you can prompt him to get ready for bed by saying “ok, time for night-night” In the morning he heads outside around 7 am and then back inside to eat breakfast. On a nice, beautiful day he enjoys being outdoors. On a rainy, cold, or wintery day he prefers to be in his crate. He typically eats again around 6 pm. Bear loves to play ball – whether it’s with a football, tennis ball, or baseball. He does fetch, but will tease on whether he will return it sometimes. He loves any type of toys. He’s very friendly and loves kids!! He’s a goofy dog! Bear loves to cuddle – he thinks he’s a lap dog. He doesn’t like to lay on bare floors, and prefers to lay on a blanket, bed, or couch. He does not seem to be bothered by things like storms or loud noises.
Bear is sad to have lost his home, but he is sure to bring love and happiness to a new family. He’s waiting to meet you!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Bear is sponsored by Susane Berg, Dave and Nancy Nuzzo, Chelsea Barber, Paula E. Stern, Lisa and Jason Weaver and Diane Mogavero. Thank you so much!
