Bear is a little bundle of fun and joy.
Bear is a little bundle of fun and joy.

This beautiful 8.5-pound Bichon Frisé mix is a cuddly teddy bear. Bear was born in July of 2022 and is a playful delight for his foster parents. He loves to run, play, and wrestle with the other dogs, so a forever home with a canine buddy would suit him well. As with all puppies, Bear is learning to walk on a leash, learning what he can or cannot chew on, and how to have enough of an attention span to consistently respond to commands. Bear will sleep in his crate or playpen overnight and after playtime, he enjoys quiet naps on his pillow. It may take a little time for Bear to bond with a new family, so calm voices and gentle touches are best for him. A fenced yard is also recommended to help Bear become comfortable with new surroundings. Bear is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Reach out to Second Chance Small Dog Rescue today and set up an appointment to meet or adopt Bear – you won’t be disappointed.
