Story
The first thing you need to know about Lester Pear is his love for his people. Once he opens up, it's game over and before you know it he's the best morning wake up call and the sweetest greeting when you get home. He will snuggle with you all day if you let him and enjoys hanging out in the back yard with you too. He’s your future porch hang out buddy!
Watch his video and call in love with this sweet soul: https://youtu.be/yx0y-fuzUd0?si=yoXC6O8idLaJGpY-
Lester Pear is believed to be a Weimaraner/lab mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 54 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Lester is more than just his handsome good looks, soft as butter ears, and sweet personality, He is so loving and loyal to his people. He creates deep bonds with his person and we love him for that although it’s not immediate. Connections with Lester are more of a slow burn that require patience, consistency, and understanding. One of the best ways to create that bond with Lester is simply by spending quality time with him and giving him time to learn his new home. You'll see him taking baby steps into new rooms, taking a look around, roaming, exploring, and observing everything around him. Before you know it, he has his favorite spots (aka the couch), knows his routine, and has his favorite doggy friend and/or human. If you like people watching, so does Lester. Haha, that is the best way to describe how he acts when he goes to a new environment. Lester is simply careful and thoughtful in new environments.
Lester is very dog friendly and is currently fostered with 2 other large breed dogs. At one point, his foster mom had 2 other foster dogs rotated throughout the home and did great with them as well. His initial shyness can be seen when meeting new dogs just the way it is with people and once he gets to his forever home, he will need some time to get settled into his new environment but once that initial shyness has passed, he is such a playful and silly guy with other dogs. In his foster home, he will play play play when play is initiated but he also knows when it's time to relax and take a nap. He is very respectful around the other dogs in his foster home that aren't interested in playing too. He has a gentle play style and is good about matching energies. Lester has also shown to be respectful around small dog dogs too. You'll see in Lester’s video how the little scruffy dog was running around, moving all over the place, getting all up in his space, and he was completely un-phased by it all. When it comes to the "type" of dog that Lester would do best with in a home, there are a lot of options for him in that regard. He can live in a home with another medium energy playful dog, can live in a multi-dog home, and can live with a dog that isn't overly interested in playing. He shares toys and treats beautifully with other dogs as well. We do believe that Lester will be happiest in a home with a dog that is a playful happy medium energy dog like himself.
When it comes to feline friends, Lester is very cat friendly and is very respectful around them. He did great when he met our house cat Biggie, wasn’t phased when Biggie was running around, jumping on the couch, getting all up in his face, or any of the things that cats typically do. He just sat there completely unbothered simply observing and watching. Lester is also currently fostered in a home with a cat and he has the same interactions with his foster’s cat.
Lester is the perfect mix of playful and calm. He is the best of both worlds. If you're someone that works from home, Lester will be perfectly content settling on the floor next to your feet, keeping quiet, never getting into things he shouldn't be and will occasionally look up at you or rest his head on your leg nuzzling into you for affection. Almost as if he knew you needed a 5 min breather from your computer. On the other hand, he has a playful silly side to him as well. He loves to play with toys and has the absolute best time tossing them up in the air for him to catch and balls are his absolute favorite! He also really enjoys being outside, going on leisurely walks throughout the neighborhood, porch sitting with his foster mom, and romping around in the backyard with his doggy friends. Lester thrives in homes that enjoy those simple moments in life and are not overly concerned with being the party house in the neighborhood. He is already crate trained and potty trained as well. He’s a good boy that is one of a kind, who is deserving of a home to call his own.
We are willing to test Lester Pear with anything you need to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention.
