Buddy Bear arrived at NCCR on 12/7/24, surrendered when his owner could no longer provide adequate care for him. He is an approximately 3 ½ year old male Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever mix who weighs in at 111 pounds! Buddy Bear has an excellent, sweet temperament and is great with children and most other dogs. He is strong and energetic and will require more training to walk on a leash – he’s a puller! Buddy Bear will bark to alert you of visitors, but has always been very friendly with everyone he meets.
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.
Buddy Bear is kindly sponsored by W Susan Dempsey, the Chessarios in loving memory of Josh; Barb, Kevin and McSwiggan Kantz and Kris Struba, in memory of Hugo-a guest at NCCR for 1 ½ years, beloved companion for 11 years. Thank you!
