November 2nd! I will be at the Badger Kennel Club expo at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison WI from 10-4. If you are in the area come and meet me!

10/10 update: I am ready for adoption!!! :-) And as you can see by my new picture, I don't have my canines anymore, but I still have plenty of teeth to eat yummy treats with!  I am off my pain meds and acting like I don't have a care in the world.  I am still eating soft, canned food, but I am going to try kibble next week.  I don't know if I will like that, but they say I have to try it.  My foster home thinks that there is no way I am close to 10 years old, I have way too much energy and pep in my step for that age.  They think that I am much closer to 7 or 8.  Don't let my age fool you, I will still be able to keep up with you and play.  So, please email L.E.A.R.N. about me and let them know you want to meet me! :-)

9/29 update, I had my dental appointment today, I lost all 4 canine and 6 other teeth that were either broken, severely cracked or dead.  I am in a lot of pain but resting. I will keep you all updated on how I am doing and when I might be ready to meet families. But for now I am just trying to heal from today's surgery which was much more involved than anyone thought it was going to be.

Hi There!  My name is Bear.  I am 8-10 years old and full of love!  I came to L.E.A.R.N. from a shelter. I was found as a stray about 4 months ago and have just hung out there since.

Now that I am in L.E.A.R.N. I've been to the Vet where it was determined that I need to have some dental work done.  All 4 of my canine teeth are broken off!  So we are hoping once that is taken care of that I will feel a lot better and be willing to eat more solid food.

I have lots of lumps and bumps on me so I look a lot bigger than I am . . . just more of me to love.  When I bark my front feet come off the floor!  I enjoy going for walks, but I am still learning to walk nicely on a leash.  According to the shelter I LOVE the water.  They couldn't keep me out of the kiddie pools they had there.  Do you have a pool that I could lie in?

I am not ready to be adopted yet, but I wanted to let you all know that I am here.  So, please keep me in mind if you are looking for an older gentleman that will love you unconditionally.

If you are interested in meeting/adopting Bear please fill out an adoption application and have a home visit first. http://www.labadoption.org/info/adoption
