The life of Bear hasn’t always been simple. The sweet dog was placed on a shelter’s death list after being spotted walking the streets of Texas as a stray.
Bear appeared to have given up. Then, just in time, he received the information that saved his life.
Since his arrival at the BARC Animal Shelter in June, potential adopters had ignored the 11-year-old dog every day, and it started to wear on him. The gentle senior stopped getting out of bed; it appeared as though he had given up and realised time was running out.
A BARC worker named Madeline Garvis told The Dodo that “he was one of 28 lives that were killed that day.”
That a dog like him made the euth list is unbelievable. He has the most calm and amiable personality, and I mean that sincerely. When Garvis pulled Bear out of his kennel, it was surprising to see how his attitude completely transformed.
Garvis remarked, “We found a dog who knew how to shake, who loved being outside, and who adored affection.
The excellent dog immediately gained popularity. Before Bear’s stay at the shelter was up, Garvis was committed to finding him a home.
Are you serious with those eyes, man? I love him,” Garvis posted at the time on Facebook. “He aged five years once we were outside!”
