Bear brightens up his foster home simply by being Bear. The 6-year-old brown and white beauty is 40 pounds of sweetness and sociability, and adores nothing more than being the focus of his foster mom’s undivided attention. Passionate about snuggling and cuddling on the couch and in bed with her, he loves placing his head on her neck, resting his body fully across her body, having his gleaming coat brushed and burrowing cozily under the covers. Not only does happy and confident Bear love his foster mom, he also loves everyone he meets, immediately offering them his belly for rubs. Engaging easily with dogs of assorted sizes, he’s eager and energetic, enjoys going for LONG walks and would make an ideal adventure dog for hikes, backpacking and camping! Particularly fond of bones, squeaky toys, balls and car rides, and understandably motivated by love, Bear presently knows “sit,” “down,” “no” and “off,” accepts all treats very gently, and is crate trained and almost fully house-trained to use the doggy door. Diligently honing his puppy-like manners, Bear hopes to brighten up a loving and active home that will perfect his manners, complete his training, including his commands, and keep him in belly rubs fur-ever.   Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives!  A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.  The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.  Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
