Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Handsome Bear! Bear was born August 8 of 2008. His owner surrendered him to Angels on Wheels in Mid February because they were being evicted due to some serious health issues the husband had which landed him in a nursing home. Bear is a very easy-going, low energy dog who loves nothing more but to lay on the couch by himself or preferably cuddled up next to one of his peeps in the foster home. He's fabulous on a leash, no pulling. He gets excited to go on walks but doesn't go very far. He is house trained, gets along with other dogs and kitties. His previous mom was home during the day, so we feel he would do best in a home where someone was home more. Although he hasn't been around young children, we think he would be great with them given his beautiful personality. We aren't sure how he would do with all the noise that goes with very young children, so we feel a home with children 7+ would be best.
Bear weighed 90 pounds when he arrived to us on February 8, 2017, and the vet feels he should weigh between 60-65 pounds. We have him on a diet now, but you have to go slow. he had a bit of a skin infection when he arrived. The vet put him on an antibiotic and medicated baths and his skin is all healed up now, and he has a beautiful coat. Would you be able to open your heart and home to this once loved and deserving boy?
3-6-17 - Bear is down too 73 pounds.

We can't schedule meet and greets until the application is submitted and approved. We don't have a building so there are no viewing hours. All of our animals are cared for in foster homes by wonderful families who volunteer their time to save these precious souls. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Although we make the best guess on the breed and size of our dogs, because they come from shelters or are strays, we can never be completely certain of the genetic makeup of the dog. Breed and weight at maturity are only guesses. All we can tell you for sure is that they are 100% RESCUED! If an animal is still posted for adoption, he/she is still available. If you see this this post, this puppy is available for adoption so there is no need to email asking about availability.
Thank you for looking at our rescued animals!
