Name: Bear
Age: 4 years
Sex: Male
Breed: Chow Chow/Husky
Ref number: 37
Personality:
Our wonderful Bear is finally ready to find his forever family. He’s a friendly, chilled, fun, well-rounded dog that would make a loving addition to any household. Bear has been lucky to spend some time at home with a member of staff here, where we have learnt he is very calm in the home, brilliant with children, travels in the car really well, and can be left alone for some of the day. Whilst at the Ark he spends time in the office – happily watching the world go by – so has the potential to be a great office dog as well. He’s also very playful and loves playing with his soft toys, and enjoys going out on his walks.
Behaviour:
Bear has a high prey drive, and likes to chase cats and small animals. He will need a home who is prepared to train him to channel his instincts in a more positive way. He can be strong on lead if there is a squirrel around, however most of the time he walks really well. Bear is friendly with other dogs, but can be a bit excitable at times so will need to learn how to approach calmly.
Housing:
Bear would benefit from a good sized enclosed garden to explore and run around off lead. He cannot be homed in the PO7 area.
Children/pets:
Bear can live with any age children who are ok with big dogs and able to give him space when needed. Bear should be the only animal in the home but he could make doggie friends on his walks. All interactions with young children should be supervised at all times.
Vet history:
Bear has recently had entropion surgery on his right eye. Full details will be given to any potential adopters. He is castrated, fully vaccinated and up to date with flea and worm treatment.

We reserve the right to remove a reserve at any stage of the adoption process if we believe it is in the best interest of the dog.
