Adopt Bear (23-143 D) a White - with Gray or Silver Mixed Breed (Medium) dog in

Location:

Saint Johns, MI

Description:

Hello, I'm Bear, but also respond affectionately to "Bear Bear". Affection is how I respond to all people I meet, actually. Well...unless you are a stranger at the door maybe. Then I would bark until my person tells me it's ok. I am a good protector, if that's what you need, but mostly my job is being your companion and chilling on your lap.I crave hugs, cuddles, kisses, snuggles and snoozes on the couch with my person. Any form of affection, words of praise, I will soak right up just like sunshine! Despite my earlier, poor life with humans who didn't care much about me, I really love ALL people. No one told me I am too big to be a lap dog. There's just more of me to love you! Humans are too stressed these days anyway. I figure my job as your dog is to be the best stress reducer there is! You might understand why I am so grateful to have good humans love me once you know my story. I used to be an outdoor only dog. I lived 24/7 outside in a kennel, rain, snow...all of it. One day I got very very sick, and my owners surrendered me to Happy Feet Pet Rescue in order to have a better life and get healed. I was diagnosed with heartworm disease and pancreatitis. A diet of leftover pizza and chicken wings definitely messed up my digestive system. My belly is feeling good now with a proper diet, and my heartworm treatment is done! It might be why I am a little less energetic than some dogs. Sometimes I just want to take it easy and not overexert myself.My perfect family would be older children and adults since I sometimes don't realize what a big dude I am. 74 pounds is just right, I think! I love feline friends a bit too much, so I'm told it would be best in a home without them, as well as the only dog in the home. I just deserve all the love I think!! I've never really been around other dogs. My foster mom says I have made great progress learning to walk on a leash. It was a skill I was never was taught since I was a chain dog. I respond to treats and all of these words: "nice walking", "good boy", "wait", "sit", and "down". I adore car rides and am the perfect backseat passenger! I don't even care if we go nowhere special. Being in a car is just so fun with my little ears flapping in the wind.Indoors I excel at "sit", often without even being asked. I am very patient and quiet. I am so well-behaved indoors, non-destructive, potty and crate trained. I don't beg when humans eat their dinner and have manners to know I don't counter surf. I enjoy stuffed squeaky toys, hard Nylabones or Kongs to chew and balls to chase in a yard. I recently discovered chasing a frisbee in fun too. A few rounds of play in the yard will tire me out for awhile. I am not a high energy dog, but enjoy some play in the day to keep from boredom. I am mostly a pretty chill dude. I do have to forewarn you that I do drool quite a bit. I can't help it that my mouth is just really big. All the better to smooch you with! I let my foster mom wipe my face after eating or drinking and it usually helps clean me up.I would absolutely love a fenced yard with space from neighbors or a country home with lots of land to enjoy with my humans. I come when my foster mom says, "Bear, come" or shakes the treat bag. I want nothing more than to please my humans. I even cash out about 8 or 9 p.m. and put myself to bed in my crate and sleep without a peep all night. I am usually pretty excited when my humans get up in the morning. I admit sometimes I jump since I can't quite contain my excitement of being with my humans again. Usually giving me a toy for my mouth helps me calm down. Once I do my morning routines of potty and breakfast, I am ready to chill on the couch for awhile. Please give me a chance at a forever indoor home. I deserve the best life with the best people. I did mention I love all people, right? I will be sure to warm your heart and shower you with kisses when you meet me!##1782753##
