Meet adoptable deaf 8 year old senior deaf dog Bear who is looking for a loving forever home with someone who will cherish him, become his new best friend and always keep him safe.
From his current caregiver: Bear just turned 8 years old. He is a much loved deaf cattle dog mix. Our family has had him since he was 4 months old. He was rescued from Wrigley Field Shelter in IL. We moved to Southern Calif 2 years ago. I moved in with my sister to help care for her during her battle with breast cancer and my adult son took our family dog Bear in because my sister is allergic to dogs. My son Jimmy got married in February and he and his wife have already been blessed with a pregnancy and there is a healthy baby boy on the way due in December. Their one bedroom apartment is feeling very crowded with a baby on the way. Bear has never been around a baby which is a cause for concern. They do not have a back yard and Bear dearly loves his time spent outdoors so my son takes him for extended walks. The more energy he burns, the better behaved and content he is. (This is also true of my adult son, Jimmy).
With a baby on the way and my son and his wife working full time hours preparing for their first child and Bear and a baby being an unknown equation we have decided as a family that we can no longer give Bear the care and level of attention he deserves. He is a good dog with a BIG heart.
Things Bear loves: other dogs, cats, lots of time playing tug with his rope, backyards, walks outside, food, treats. During chill time he likes to dig treats and peanut butter from his Kong.
Please reach out with any questions. Our earnest desire is to see Bear happy and find him a good home.
Bear’s adoption fee is $200 to a screened and approved home only. You must live within a 2 to 3 hour driving distance from Murrieta CA to be considered for Bear’s potential new home. If you are interested in adopting Bear, please email Mary at:
