Story
Meet Bear – Your Perfectly Squishy Forever Friend 🐾 Say hello to Bear, a lovable English Bulldog with a heart as big as his adorable wrinkles. This handsome boy is currently thriving in foster care and will be ready to find his forever home soon. Bear is the definition of a laid-back companion. He enjoys cozy naps, and being close to his people. True to his bulldog roots, he’s equal parts goofy and gentle, always finding a way to make you smile—whether it’s with his snorts, his wiggly tail, or his impressive couch-snuggling skills. In his foster home, Bear has shown himself to be affectionate, easygoing, and well-mannered. He is house-trained, crate-trained and enjoys a calm routine. Bear would thrive in a home that understands the needs of an English Bulldog and is ready to give him the love, patience, and care he deserves. Bear does well with other dogs and cats. He would be happiest with someone who appreciates a loyal companion who prefers quality time over chaos. This sweet boy has already proven how resilient and loving he can be—now all he needs is a family to call his own. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Bear might just be your perfect match. 💙 Apply for Bear at www.PawsitiveTails.org!

Story
Meet Leo 🐾 Looking for a love bug? Leo is your guy. Leo is a 5-month-old pup weighing about 7 lbs who is always ready to warm a lap. He loves playing with other dogs, enjoys toys, and is curious about anything left within reach — classic puppy behavior. When playtime is over, Leo is all about the snuggles and being close to his people. Leo is working on potty training and learning good routines. With consistency and patience, he continues to make progress. Leo would do best in a home ready for puppy training and excited to welcome a playful, affectionate companion.
