is he in the pound?
Has this poor guy gotten a life line?
Hi. This beautiful dog is with me at the moment. He is in need of a foster home. Sadly i can no longer mind him. I sadly lost my job the day after taking him on. This boy who i call bear bear, is really great. He gets on fine with females and neutered males. My boy scooby is not tolerating him, Bear ignores him but scooby keeps being mean to him. He is great with his blind eye. He just loves cuddles and attention. He has had a bad start, but has made so much progress so far. He is no longer scared of everything. He is anxious around children. So a foster without small children is a must. He met my niece and was wary. If anyone could foster bear Bear/ Jerry, i would be grateful as my life was turned upside last tuesday and i am probably going to have to move to get a new job if i get one at all… So if anyone has room for a big dog, who takes up so little space, and is so quiet, and loves a walk, and is great on the lead, he is a little house trained but is marking a little out of anxiety. He is a wonderful natured dog. He just needs a little more socialisation until he is ready for his forever home.. I will post some pics of him later.
Any update on this poor guy?
I hope he’s still around. We would absolutely love to foster this big love! We have no dogs, cats, or kids, so he’ll be absolutely swimming in love and attention until he can find a nice forever home! Please email me at alimbail@gmail.com if we can help out!
How is Bear doing?? Has he been sorted into foster care at this point?
Would love to know how he is…..
Thanks
i made the decision last friday to have Bear put to sleep.
It was a very hard decision. I felt that Bear would not have been adoptable. He growled at my niece. It wasn’t so much the growl, it was the situation. Isabelle was only standing there not talking or anything, and Bear walked over to her and growled. I could not live with myself if he bit Isabelle, or another Child.
In saying all this, Bear was still a lovely dog, He had been through hell before coming to me, He had been abused, I couldn’t rub him down his back. It took two weeks for me to be able to do that. I still miss him, and i love him a lot. He touched my heart so deeply. I hope now he is at peace. I hate his previous owner for doing the damage that destroyed him, He was such a lovable dog, and with the correct socialisation, Bear would have made a beautiful, loving, caring, lovely family pet. I miss him so much, he was great with me, he put so much trust in me, and i feel i betrayed him. Bear couldn’t even handle any loud noises, he would hide away. He was a beautiful dog destroyed by a pathetic owner.
I love you Bear, i wanted to help you so much, i am sorry i couldn’t help you. Your owner ruined you. I hope you have full sight now again in heaven, and you are having fun, i really love you and miss you Bear..
Rip Bear.
