About this Dog
Hi there, I’m Bear, and I’m basically the best thing since peanut butter (and I do love a good treat). I’m a 6 year old Schnauzer who loves nothing more than hanging out with my humans, getting all the pets (I can’t get enough!), and chilling in my crate like the king I am. Yep, my crate is my happy place—it's where I feel cozy and safe, so don’t even think about trying to get me to sleep in your bed. I’ll happily join you for a cuddle session though, as long as I get to return to my little den after! I’m pretty chill, I’ve got excellent manners, and I’m one of the easiest dogs you'll ever meet. I don’t chew, I don’t have accidents, and I’m super gentle. I might not run around like a puppy, but I do a cute little gallop in the backyard that’ll make you smile. I’m an expert at walking on a leash—no pulling here! Oh, and I might be a little “curved” in the back, but it just adds to my charm. I won’t “sit” on command like a robot, but I’ll totally do it on my own terms (I’m a free spirit that way). I'm also hoping to have a furever home with not many stairs as they aren't the bestest for me. I love getting scratched—basically anywhere from head to tail, but especially my ears—and I’m a total pro at bath time. I’m not a fan of the rain, but I’ll brave it for a walk, because walks are life. I’m good with other dogs of all sizes, but I’m best with a human or dog buddy who’s around a lot. I don’t love being left alone for long stretches, so I’d do best with someone who’s home a lot, retired, or works from home. In short, I’m a sweet, low-maintenance guy who just wants to be loved, pampered, and pet. I’m ready to make some lucky family very, very happy. Oh, and I’m told my pearly whites are something to behold—don’t worry, I brush them! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***

Adopt Bear and Receive Bear'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's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Bear's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Bear, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Bear'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 was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Bear’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Bear’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’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!
