Story
Bear (brown) 11 years old 14 poundsOscar (black) 11 years old 21 poundsFostered in Jacksonville, NCShort version: housetrained, sweet, needs single family home, gets along with other dogs, no cats/chickens/bunnies, loves to snuggleOscar and Bear are two sweet boys, and they absolutely know it. While they are truly a ying and yang duo, they are undeniably each other's favorite companions. They were abandoned in a boarding facility who thankfully reached out to us for help. These boys are bonded and will only be adopted together.These bonded boys are happy to explore the yard, play with toys, and even enjoy meals separately, but when bedtime rolls around, they want nothing more than to be together. Their friendship is one of the many things that makes them so special.Oscar is the social butterfly of the pair. He loves climbing onto the couch to cuddle with his humans and is always ready for attention. When it's time for pets, Oscar will happily roll from side to side to make sure not a single spot is missed. He especially loves toys that crinkle and crunch. And he missed is career as a high jumper and loves to scale gates in a single bound - so his new family will need to stack gates to keep him contained. Bear is the more laid-back half of the duo. He's perfectly content relaxing at your feet on his favorite heating pad while keeping a watchful eye on Oscar's antics. His favorite form of affection is gentle chin scratches, and he's happy to sit back and enjoy the love.They both enjoy soaking up the sunshine during short afternoon naps and taking their time sniffing every blade of grass in the yard. Both dogs get along great with other dogs, both big and small. They could also be a ready made family as the only dogs. However, both (especially Oscar) have a strong prey drive so no cats, bunnies, chickens or other small animals.Bear is completely house-trained. Oscar may need a little supervision during his first few days in a new home due to occasional marking, but once settled, he does an excellent job waiting to do his business outside. Because they bark some when their people leave, they will need a single family home, no apartments or condos. At the end of the day, Oscar and Bear are looking for a home filled with soft beds, plenty of pets, and lots of love. These gentle boys have so much affection to give and are ready to spend their days together with a family lucky enough to call them their own.Both are neutered, UTD on shots, heartworm negative, and had a recent dental with extractions. Both of their senior blood panels looked great. Bear had an IVDD injury in the past and recovered, but has a slight wobble so his new family will need to use ramps and carry him on stairs. Their new family will need to drive to Jacksonville, NC to adopt them - no transports. We prefer families in NC, VA, SC, northern GA, eastern TN, DC area and WV.
