My story

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

Bear
Foster/Home Needed – Long Island, NY area

Meet Bear. This sweet, social, 12-year-old gentleman is looking for the perfect home to spend what’s left of his life. Bear is a large mixed breed weighing approx. 50lbs. He was surrendered by his people because they were moving, and Bear was not welcomed to move with them ☹ He was slightly underweight and originally showed signs of neglect. Bear suffers from chronic kidney disease, but it has been well managed as of late. Thankfully we were able to find a wonderful, temporary home for him but he needs a place and people to call his own.

Bear is relatively low energy and loves a good nap. He also loves puzzle toys and treats 😊 He has really come out of his shell, now that he’s safe and well cared for. He’s good with kids and friendly with familiar dogs. Look at him walking with his foster siblings. He hasn’t had any exposure to cats.

We'd love to see Bear spend his final years in a comfy and calm environment. If you think you are the right home for this deserving guy, please contact adoptions@paws-li.org or call the number listed below.
