This big, fluffy, happy, too-cute-for-words boy is Bear. He is a Komondor / Shepherd Mix and about two years old. Weighing in at 95 pounds, he is most definitely not a purse dog. But that's okay--Bear loves car rides, so you don't need him in your purse!
In case you were wondering (you know you were!), Bear is quite the hugger and cuddler once he knows and trusts you, and will gladly join you on the bed and couch for some time with his human. Because he doesn't know his own size, he also strongly believes he is a lap dog, which is very cute, but maybe not so comfortable for the person whose lap he is on. Bear also expects belly rubs on occasion, so don't be surprised when he flops onto his back as a super subtle hint.
Bear has very good house manners and will wait quietly in his room while you're gone. He's housetrained, too!
Bear limps a little because he suffered an injury to one of his back legs that wasn't properly treated, but he's all healed now and doesn't seem to be in any pain. It sure doesn't stop him from running and playing. After a slow and appropriate introduction, Bear and the dogs in his foster home are always down for a good romp and he sure as heck keeps up with them!
Stating the obvious here, but Bear is clearly adorable. Keep in mind that his breed mix will require routine grooming or his beautiful locks will get matted and make him feel awful. In addition to his grooming needs, Bear needs an adult-only home with a fenced yard and patient people who are willing to give Bear the time and space he needs to get comfortable. This guy hasn't had it easy and we want his next home to be perfect for him.

Meet Ace! If there's a perfect dog, Ace might be it. One look at that goofy face and you know Ace loves life and has known a good one. This boy is extremely smart and willing to learn so training or retraining should be fairly easy with patience. He loves to sleep on beds, play fetch, tug, and to chew. He knows which items are for him and leaves other things alone. He loves snuggles and has a big bark. Ace gets along with his foster's two dogs, but seems he would also be comfortable being an only dog. He's not shown any food aggression when he's fed. He loves the rambunctious 11-year old boy in his foster home, and has no issues playing gently. He LOVES (We're not kidding!) chasing reflections and the robotic vacuum. He leaves a regular vacuum alone so go figure that one out. He is a complete gentleman during his bath and helps out by lifting his paws at the right time. He's fully potty trained with no accidents. Ace is 5-6 years young, a Staffordshire mix & weighs about 50-pounds.

Meet Bronx! This medium-sized guy is as smart as they get. He is between 2-3 years old. Bronx is very people social! We are happy about this because he had a rough start at life. He has been hand picked by a trainer & has been put through obedience training & is said to aim to please & is a quick study. He is a handsome guy & is ready to learn what a cozy house feels like. If you're looking for a loyal, respectable companion, here he is! We guess him to be a Staffordshire Terrier or mix. Bronx lived with children & is said to do well with them. We are only accepting applications for Bronx with the following:
*Must have a privacy fence 6' or taller on all sides
*No neighboring dogs
*No children in the home under the age of 12

Bronx is not ok with other pets but great with people! He has a strong prey drive. Bronx was recently adopted to a family with young children & he does great with kids, but a child walked Bronx out front since they had no fence & Bronx proceeded to get loose when he saw a small dog running at large. Bronx needs an adopter that will make sure something like this never happens again. Bronx is truly a remarkable dog & needs to be set up to succeed.
