*Available for rescue groups only* Bear is our 5 year old, extra handsome boy who came to us as a stray in December 2019. Bear is interested in meeting other dogs, but doesn't like pushy behavior (who does?!). Bear enjoys attention from people he trusts, and loves treats. He also knows the commands "sit", "kennel up", "place", "paw" and "drop". He displayed some discomfort with people near his food, so he is best suited with adults only. Bear has displayed guarding with food, and has some stranger reactivity. Bear loves to go on walks in our creek trail and is wonderful on leash! There is no history of Bear living with another dog, but at the shelter has been able to be around another aloof or low-key dog that can respect his space. Due to Bears reactivity, at this time he is to be placed with a rescue group only. If you are a rescue group and want to find out more, contact our rescue team at The Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter: E: Rescue@hempsteadny.gov
