Meet the Bears!
Brown Bear (female) and Beagle Bear (male) are a bonded pair of siblings, about 10.5 years of age. They are both sweet dogs. Their foster mom says they’ve been very good in the house, though they do like to jump when she’s getting dinner ready, she’s working on that with them. They will spend time in their crates sometimes, on their own and have been good about going potty outside, when one goes the other goes out, they don’t want to be separated. Our rescue partner told us they are good with other dogs prior to arriving in Maine. They have not been fostered with other dogs, cats or children since coming into our care here in Maine. They are current on age appropriate core vaccinations, have already been spayed and neutered, and are heartworm negative. Beagle Bear did test positive for exposure to ehrlichia and although he is asymptomatic for ehrlichiosis, he has received a prophylactic course of doxycycline. The Bears came into rescue after their owner passed away and family members were unable to care for them. They each weigh about 33 lbs.

A very generous group of MLR supporters have donated a total of $395 per dog toward the normal adoption fee of $595 for each dog. Please note, as mentioned above they are a bonded pair of siblings. They will only be placed as a pair with one loving family.

As a reminder, to be considered for adoption, you must first submit a completed application for approval.

Please do not apply for this pup if you not available to adopt when the pup is ready or if you are going on vacation and wish to wait until you return home before adopting. We cannot hold pets for future adoption appointments, nor can we hold adopted pets for future pick up.

Inquiries for each available dog or cat will be considered in the order of arrival and a meet and greet will be offered to each pet’s right fit, first in line approved applicant. Please note, if you are interested in more than one pet, please list the order of your interest in your emailed inquiry. It will not be possible to meet more than one pet during an appointment.

Due to Massachusetts import laws we are unable to adopt to MA residents. Any questions regarding these laws should be directed to Massachusetts Department of Agriculture.
