Here's what the humans have to say about me:
BEAR***CONTACT STACEY staceyloveslabs@gmail.com**BEAR-- WE DON'T WANT HIM-- A PROMISE BROKEN!!!!!" BEAR IS A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, 2 YEAR OLD, 75 POUND, PUREBRED BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER. HE IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LABS WE HAVE SEEN. BEAR'S WORLD WAS SHATTERED WHEN HIS FAMILY WHO HAD RAISED BEAR SINCE SHE WAS AN ADORABLE, WIGGLY PUPPY, DECIDED FOR NO REASON OTHER THEN THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT A DOG ANYMORE WALKED THIS GENTLE, LOVING, COMPANION PUP INTO A HIGH KILL SHELTER, TIED HIM TO A POLE, SIGNED HIM OVER TO THE KILL SHELTER, THEIR COMMENT WAS "WE DON'T WANT HIM", AND WALKED AWAY!!!! THIS WAS A TRAGEDY, FOR THIS WAS THE FAMILY THAT HAD PROMISED TO LOVE AND CARE FOR BEAR ALL OF HIS LIFE, THE FAMILY HE KNEW AND TRUSTED, THEY LIED, THEY BROKE THEIR PROMISE, THEY THREW HIM AWAY!!!! IT IS UNIMAGINABLE TO US HOW ANYONE COULD BE SO HEARTLESS AND CRUEL AS TO LEAVE THEIR COMPANION PUP IN SUCH A SCARY AND DANGEROUS PLACE. WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM A SHELTER VOLUNTEER WHO TOLD US ABOUT BEAR. SHE SAID BEAR LAID IN THE CORNER OF HIS CAGE, HEAD DOWN, EYES CLOSED TREMBLING WITH FEAR. HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE HE WAS BUT MOST OF ALL WHY!!! WE RECEIVED A PICTURE OF BEAR IN THE SHELTER(SEE ATTACHED) THE MINUTE WE SAW THAT FACE WITH HIS "PLEASE HELP ME" LOOK WE COULDN'T GET TO HIM FAST ENOUGH. WHEN WE FIRST SAW BEAR WE WALKED OVER TO HIM, SPOKE SOFTLY AND GAVE HIM A PAT, HE LIFTED HIS BEAUTIFUL HEAD, HIS TAIL BEGAN TO WAG EVER SO SLIGHTLY, AS IF HE KNEW WE WERE THERE TO HELP. FATE GAVE US BEAR THAT DAY, A WONDERFUL GIFT. IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT THE SOUL CAN BE SEEN IN THE EYES AND BEAR'S EYES DO TELL A STORY, OF A PUP THAT HAD BEEN A TRUE, FAITHFUL COMPANION ALL HIS LIFE. HE IS A PUP THAT HAD DEVOTED HIS LIFE TO HIS FAMILY. BEAR DID NOT DESERVE SUCH BETRAYAL, IT WAS NOT HIS FAULT, HE DID NOTHING WRONG. JUST A FAMILY WHO WERE COLD AND UNCARING, A FAMILY WHO BROKE THEIR PROMISE. DESPITE THE PLIGHT BEAR FOUND HIMSELF IN HE HOLDS NO GRUDGE AND IS HAPPY AND GRATEFUL FOR EVERYDAY. WHEN WE WALKED BEAR OUT OF THAT SHELTER THOSE GORGEOUS EYES SEEMED TO SPARKLE AND HIS FACE SEEMED TO SMILE. HE KNEW HE WAS SAFE!!! THE FIRST TIME YOU SEE BEAR HE WILL ABSOLUTELY STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS HE IS SOOOOO GORGEOUS. HE HAS THE SWEETEST FACE WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, WARM, CHESTNUT COLORED EYES WE HAVE EVER SEEN. THEY HAVE A KIND, GENTLE LOOK AND IF BEAR COULD SPEAK YOU WOULD SWEAR HE IS SAYING "LOVE ME", IN OUR OPINION IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO. HIS COAT IS ALSO BEYOND BEAUTIFUL, FLAWLESS AND SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET. IT IS HIGH GLOSS BLACK, SO SHINY IT SPARKLES AND LOOKS LIKE BEAR JUST JUMPED OUT OF A BIG POOL OF WATER AND BEING A LABRADOR THE "WATER LOVING" BREED THIS IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY!!! BEAR IS ALSO A BEAUTIFULLY BUILT FELLOW WITH PERFECT BODY CONFIRMATION, THE LABRADOR "BLOCK" HEAD, POSSESSING A PROUD AND REGAL STANCE, BUT HIS TRUE BEAUTY IS HIS HEART AND SPIRIT. BEAR IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION. PUP WHO WANTS TO BELONG. BEING A PART OF A FAMILY IS THE ONLY LIFE HE HAS EVER KNOWN, THE LIFE HE DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. BEAR IS ALSO A SOCIAL GUY AND ENJOYS THE COMPANY OF EVERYONE HE MEETS, HE WAS RAISED WITH CHILDREN AND HAD ANOTHER DOG BUDDY IN HIS HOME.(HE IS EVEN FINE WITH CATS) WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH BEAR, IF HE'S WITH YOU HE'S HAPPY. HE WOULD LOVE AN EARLY MORNING OR LATE AFTERNOON WALK, HE IS IN EXCEPTIONAL SHAPE AND WOULD MATCH YOU STEP FOR STEP, BETTER ALLOW SOME EXTRA TIME TO STOP AND LET FOLKS SEE THE GORGEOUS FELLOW. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO BEAR AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG AFTER SPENDING ANYTIME AT ALL WITH HIM TO NOTICE THIS PUP IS SOOOO SMART!!!. HE IS AN EXTREMELY ALERT GUY ALWAYS AWEAR OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, NEVER MISSING A THING. HE IS A PUP WHO LEARNS EXTREMELY FAST BUT MOST OF ALL DELIGHTS IN PLEASING WHICH MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE, THE POTENTIAL FOR BEAR IS HUGE!!!! AT DAY'S END WHEN YOU AND BEAR HAVE SPENT THE DAY TAKING LONG WALKS, RUNNING ERRANDS AND JUST ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY WHEN YOU COME INSIDE AND SETTLE IN FOR THE EVENING YOU WILL FIND THIS "COMPANION" PUP CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET, NAPPING, CONTENT AND HAPPY JUST BEING WITH YOU. AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH BEAR WE FEEL THE PERFECT HOME FOR BEAR WOULD BE WITH A SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE OR A FAMILY WITH OLDER CHILDREN. THE PERSON OR FAMILY THAT MAKES BEAR A PART OF THEIR LIFE JUST NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS FELLOW'S WHOLE WORLD WAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN, HE NEEDS TO BE SHOWERED WITH LOVE AND TO KNOW THAT HE IS SAFE AND WILL NEVER BE THROWN AWAY AGAIN. HE ONLY HAS ONE REQUEST AND HIS EYES TOLD US THIS THE FIRST TIME WE SAW HIM. HE WANTS HIS FAMILY, TO BE SOMEONE'S CHERISHED COMPANION, TO BE A PART OF SOMEONE'S LIFE AGAIN. HE WANTS TO BE LOVED AS DEEPLY AS HE LOVES. IF YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE A PUP WHO IS THE ULTIMATE FAMILY COMPANION, A LOVING, FELLOW WITH A BEAUTIFUL HEART AND SPIRIT, A PUP WHO WILL DEVOTE HIS LIFE TO HIS FAMILY THEN LOOK NO FURTHER BEAR IS YOUR PUP. WE PROMISED BEAR A GREAT LIFE, A GREAT HOME, HE DESERVES NOTHING LESS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MAKING BEAR A PART OF YOUR LIFE PLEASE CONTACT*****STACEY staceyloveslabs@gmail.com
