About this Dog
We take the dogs that are adopted down...so if a dog is on the website they are available. Obedience training and fully fenced in yard is required for all our pups. Completion certificate for training needs to be emailed once complete. When applying pictures/videos of your fully enclosed yard is needed. Please only send inquiries to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to [email protected] Meet Bear – Your New Best Friend (and Professional Happiness Expert) Bear’s life didn’t start with sunshine and belly rubs. Rescued from a rural Florida shelter where he narrowly escaped euthanasia, this lovable goofball is now thriving in his foster home and ready to bring joy to his forever family. Bear’s motto? “Life’s short—play hard, love harder, and always dance for dinner.” This boy lives every day like it’s his best yet. Whether he’s zooming around the yard, wrestling his foster siblings (even Mira, the queen of aloofness, can’t resist him), or playing an intense game of “Keep Away,” Bear’s energy is infectious. He’s the life of the party and makes sure everyone—two-legged or four—joins in on the fun. Even cats get a taste of Bear’s playful personality (though they occasionally remind him to take it down a notch). Mealtime is a sacred event for Bear, complete with his signature happy dance and an obedient sit that screams, “Look how good I am! Now please feed me.” Once the day’s adventures are done, he’s all about the snuggles, happily snoozing on his human or doggy siblings like they’re custom-made pillows. Bear is a bundle of energy who needs a family ready to keep up with his playful spirit. He’s a leash-walking champ and eager to learn, especially if there are treats involved. While he’s still perfecting his house-training skills (he might occasionally throw in a “surprise!” if you’re a little slow getting him outside), his progress has been amazing. Patience, understanding, and an active lifestyle will bring out the best in this lovable pup. If you’re looking for a dog who’ll make every day feel like a celebration, Bear’s your guy. His gratitude for life is as big as his heart, and he’s ready to fill your home with endless love, laughter, and a little bit of chaos (the fun kind). Are you ready to be the lucky one who gives Bear the happy-ever-after he’s been waiting for?

Contribute to Bear - M's Stash!

100% of Bear - M's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Bear - M.
Adopt Bear - M and Receive Bear - M's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Bear - M's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Bear - M's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Bear - M, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Bear - M's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Bear - M was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Bear - M’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Bear - M’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Bear - M’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
