Bear is a 6 year old fluffball that looks like a big Pomeranian! He is currently 45lbs but is overweight and should be closer to 35. He definitely is part Pomeranian and we guess that he also has some Samoyed, Chow or another larger Spitz breed. Bear spent his whole life in one home and was only given up to us because his dad went into hospice. Since his dad was declining for awhile before Bear came to us, he wasn't able to give him exercise or feed him properly which caused his weight gain. He is already losing weight since he has moved into one of our foster homes and been put on a diet. Bear is very laid back and friendly so he adjusted very quickly with us. He is having a lot of fun exploring his new environment and loves befriending our other dogs. We haven't had him around cats yet, but we think he would do fine with them (if you have a cat, we can make sure to test him before we schedule a meeting). Along with his diet, the extra activity is helping him shed those lbs! As he loses weight, he is getting more energy and more agile! Bear loves to play and go for walks. He does well on a leash and in the car! Bear also knows basic commands and is food motivated so he could learn new tricks easily. He is housebroken and will bark when he needs to go outside or if he hears someone at the door, but will happily greet them once they come inside. He has shown zero aggression with us and we think he would make a great family pet. Bear loves attention, but doesn't have any separation anxiety and can be left alone without any issues. We haven't crated him yet since he usually just goes to his dog bed to take a nap when we are gone. Bear is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and just had a vet checkup. Other than his weight, he seems to be in good health. If you're interested in meeting Bear, please submit an adoption application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.org
