Papa Bear is currently in foster care and ready for adoption via our virtual process!
Papa Bear, a seven-year-old male weighing 60 lbs., just arrived and is still getting settled in, so we’re just beginning to learn who they are. Right now, everything is new—new people, new sounds, new routines—and we’re giving them time to relax, decompress, and show us their true personality at their own pace.
Here’s what we know so far about his time in foster care: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:f895f71b-c231-47f4-b41e-1929293d7159
His foster says "Papa has been the gentlest senior boy in the world. Papa would like to cuddle and sit in your lap all day but he's also very happy to go for walks. He wishes he could greet everyone he smells! Papa is very patient and will sit like a gentleman while you put on his harness. He takes treats from you so gently and just wants someone to relax with.".
Papa Bear is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has had preventative treatments to ensure he is ready for his next steps.
Submit an adoption survey from above and our team will reach out via phone or email (check spam) to schedule a counseling call. For any additional questions, please contact fosternyc@bestfriends.org.
Please remember, pets cannot be held or reserved.
