Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bear – ID 16643 – Kennel 55
Belgian shepherd / Malinois mix – tri-color – male – 2 years old – 60 lb
Will be neutered prior to adoption – up to date on vaccines – heartworm negative – arrived Jan 30
Dog friendly – good with children
Bear is a sweet, smart boy with a gentle spirit and a curious mind. He can be shy at first, but he knows it — and once he’s comfortable, Bear shows how affectionate and loyal he can be. He’s the kind of dog who watches closely, learns quickly, and wants to feel secure with the people around him.
Bear arrived at the shelter with his sister, Uma. Bear is also the “brains” behind the escape operation — the one who would dig out, and Uma would follow. Historically, their owner usually reclaimed them… but not this time. And as sad as that is, it also means Bear finally has the chance to break that cycle and find what every dog deserves: stability, safety, and a true forever home that won’t let him slip away again.
Bear is dog friendly and good with children. He’ll do best with a secure yard and an adopter who appreciates an intelligent dog and is happy to provide structure, guidance, and positive outlets. With kindness, consistency, and a home that understands him, Bear is ready to trade the uncertainty of his past for a life where he’s truly wanted — for good.
