Meet Bear
Bear is an absolutely beautiful Shih Tzu boy, 8 years old and about 14 pounds, with a smile that is sure to melt your heart. He is a nice and friendly boy who enjoys being with people, but does have limits on being held and cuddling that need to be respected. Bear enjoys attention and petting, leash walks, and exploring in the yard. As Bear adjusts more to his new surroundings and people, and gets over the loss of his family, we are sure more of his wonderful self will emerge. If you believe you are a great match for Bear, please put in an application today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see more of adorable Bear.
