About this Dog
Bear is a 13 year old, 88 pound majestic tri-color border collie mix. He was recently returned to CAWS because his family leaving the country and couldn’t take him. He recently had a dental where he got 23 teeth extracted so he's feeling so much better. He needs to lose about 20 pounds to get him to a healthy weight, and we have been seeing success so far. He is totally house trained, gets along with all the other dogs in his foster home, male and female, big and small. Bear is literally a stunning and overwhelming presence, not a mean bone in his body. He is now patiently waiting for an awesome forever family to make whatever time he has remaining the best years he could ever ask for. Bear has some arthritis, so he is on some medications to help with it but hopefully the more weight he loses, the less it becomes an issue. Bear just lounges in his open-door crate or on the living room carpet til he gets let out in the back yard. He rides wonderfully in the car, has his own fold up ramp so he can easily get in and out of the car. This magnificent gentleman just needs to find the home he can call his own, which he is so deserving of. Bear needs to go to a home with a back yard, a couple stairs max, preferably 2-legged people who work from home or are retired, but he can totally be trusted in the home alone. He will need occasional brushings or a spa day to stay beautiful. If you are looking for a glorious chap to be an unconditional friend, please make arrangements for a meet and greet.Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We strive to find the perfect home for each animal. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process.All CAWS animals are fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $100.

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!
