About Bear
🐾 MEET BEAR — a playful little soul with a soft heart 💛🐾
Bear is a 7 months old Jack Russell x Dachshund
Bear is still just a baby at heart — full of fun, curiosity, and love for life 🐾
She came into care through no fault of her own due to a family breakup, and while her world has changed, her sweet and loving nature hasn’t 💛

✔️ Toilet trained
✔️ Smart and eager to learn (would likely pick up a doggy door quickly)
❌ Not crate trained
🛏 Currently sleeps in her own bed but would happily upgrade to a human bed if invited 😌
🐶 Energy Level and Noise 🐶
Bear is the perfect mix of:
💨 Young, playful energy
💛 Happy to settle and sleep
She loves to play and enjoy life, but also knows how to relax once she’s had her fun.
✔️ Generally a quiet girl
🐶 Socialisation and Compatibility 🐶
✔️ Loves kids
✔️ Loves other dogs (all sizes and ages)
Bear can be a little shy on first meeting — but give her a minute or two and she warms up beautifully, showing her fun, playful personality 🥹
💛 Must have another dog in the home — she thrives on doggy companionship
🐱 Cat tested: Yes and happily lived with one!
🐾 Small animals: No known issues
🐶 Daily Habits and Preferences 🐶

🐶 Additional Notes 🐶

Adoption details
Paw Prints Canine Rescue is a non for profit dog rescue located in Southeast Queensland.
All our dogs leave our care with full vet work (up-to-date vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, heart worm and intestinal wormed and flea treated).
Please note - They will not leave for their new homes until they are 12 weeks of age and have been desexed, micro-chipped and vaccinated up to date.
Please note - we are not a pound or have kennels - all our dogs stay in foster carers homes and therefore dogs are not able to be simply viewed - only approved applicants will meet the dogs.
Please Note: We do not hold any animals so please only apply if you are ready to adopt now
Please note - We don't take calls on adoption enquiries - an application must be completed
We can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/pawprintscanine/
Complete the following adoption enquiry link
https://goo.gl/forms/PqpkCcE89ikDR2Lw1
Once an adoption enquiry is completed our admin team will assess the application and if successful we will arrange for a meet and greet to be completed. We may also request photos of your yard for consideration of your application. Please note that we will do no more than 3 meet and greets per dog.
Approved applicants will be contacted to arrange a time for a meet & greet via email. You must bring your current dog along to the meeting if you are meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure they get along before commencing adoption - proof of your dogs up-to-date vaccination is required before any meet and greet is arranged.
Our adoption fee must be cleared in our bank account before any animal is available for pick up. Please note we bank with ANZ - any other bank may take 48 hours to process the monies.
Paw Prints Canine Rescue has a 10 day trial period – this basically means that if for any reason the adoption does not work out and the dog needs to be returned to us, the adoption fee minus an admin fee (minimum is $250) will be returned to the adoptees via bank transfer within 7 working days.
Please note that if an interstate adoption needs to be returned or regional adoption all transport cost with be paid by the adopter.
Please also note while this can be a very exciting time for everyone, it can also be an overwhelming time for dogs and we ask that you do try and allow your new family member to settle in their new home and adjust
INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS **
Any transport costs are to be paid by the adopting family, however we can assist you in helping with transport to airports etc.
** Please note some of our dogs are not available for interstate adoption - each bio will state if available for adoption - please check before applying.
AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD
After the 10 day trial period is completed Paw Prints Canine will send out all relevant paperwork for your new furbaby via email including the transfer of microchip form.
