Cuddle Bear is black with a splash of white on his chest and a touch of white on his back feet.

Cuddle Bear (Bear for short) is a big love bug. He loves being with his people and laying by your feet or putting his head on your lap on a lazy afternoon. He enjoys playing with his doggie friends and has been a great companion to his current roommate. He is a bit lanky and is still figuring out his long legs. He loves chasing a ball and will sometimes even bring it back!

Bear is still young and energetic so he will need plenty of exercise, both mentally and physically. He is attentive and learns new things quickly as long as there are treats involved. He does well in his crate overnight, but he will let you know when he wakes up in the morning. He is still adjusting to being crated during the day but does settle down after a little while. He is also house trained and takes care of business quickly without dilly-dallying.

IAR subsidizes post-adoption professional training with Jane Marshall (www.cheerydogs.com) to encourage a life-long and successful bond between the dog and the adopter. Group classes for puppies and adult dogs are provided at a substantial discount to IAR adopters.
