My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bear is a man's best friend & an old soul. He will follow any guy around wagging his tail with his big, goofy smile.

He loves vehicles. I have never seen a dog so fascinated with them, his foster mom says. He loves riding in them and just hanging out while you work on a leak, or whatever it is you men do. He even put his paws up on the rubber to see what was going on up above. While Bear had the cone on after his neuter he put his head full force against my dad's car with no room for budging the door open. All he wanted was to go on a ride. He's a man looking for an adventure or a country boy that loves to roam around the country side and ride next to you in your heavy Chevy.

Age: 4 years old per mid-April, 2023.
Weight: 82lbs of love.
Energy level: Low/medium.
Potty trained: Yes.
Leash: He likes to pull at first from excitement, it takes a few nudges to get him walking with a slack leash but he will.
Kids: Yes.
Toys: He loves bones, Kongs, seemed interested in chasing a ball. Likes to think he can catch birds. Cats: No.
Livestock: Unsure- possibly likes to herd/chase.
Dogs: No unfixed males. Females and fixed males- OK.
Favorite pose: lifting his paw for you to hold.
Breed: Unknown. Could have German shepherd, Labrador retriever, Chow and more - or none of those.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Since we are a foster based rescue and don’t have a shelter all meet and greets must be scheduled and walk-ins are not an option. We will travel throughout the Treasure Valley and surrounding areas/states if that means the dog will find their forever home! When we host adoption/community events we will always post them on our Facebook Page Northern Star Dog Rescue.

More about this rescue

We are Northern Star Dog Rescue, a completely foster based non profit dog rescue! We specifically pull all of our dogs from the euthanasia list (most are there due to no fault of their own) and dogs that are homeless or in bad housing conditions. We take them in and place them in foster homes until we can find them their forever homes! We do what we do because our team has a STRONG love for animals especially those that are in dire situations.
