About Bear
Bear was surrendered to us by a CRQ volunteer who had rescued him. Before he came into her care, he had spent over half his life living in a pool yard. He had terrible ear infections and was very underweight when he came into care.
Due to the difficult life that Bear has endured, he is having to re-learn how to be part of a family. He has proven to dislike sharing his humans and can be selective with the dogs he likes. Bear would prefer to be in a home where he is the only dog and doesn't have to share his family.
As Bear is getting used to living inside a home as a family member, he is having to learn his manners. We are still working on toilet training but he is making good progress. He also chases his foster carers cat so we would recommend he be adopted into a home that has no cats.
Bears foster mum describes him as eager to please, and says he is a total "lovebug". Bear loves to flop on the pillows beside you and if you let him into your bedroom, you can be sure to find him snuggled up in your bed in no time! He is learning to walk on the lead, but hasn't had many walks in his past life so he is still improving his manners.
Bear is excellent with children and very affectionate. He gave a good lick to one of our CRQ team members babies and loves to snuggle on the couch with the kids in his foster family. Bear would make a wonderful family dog.
Medical notes
All Chihuahua Rescue Queensland dogs have been fully health checked by our vets.
