T-Bear - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Naperville, Illinois

Hi, I’m T-Bear!

I’m a one-eyed Australian Shepherd puppy with two eyes’ worth of personality and absolutely no idea that I’m supposed to be different. One eye doesn’t make me less of a dog. It just makes my face a little more unforgettable.

I was found alone in a field and had already been through more than any puppy should. I eventually lost one of my eyes and needed surgery, but that chapter is over. These days, I’m much more interested in toys, adventures, cuddles, and figuring out exactly how much puppy mischief I can get away with.

I run, wrestle, explore, and play like any other puppy. I’m curious about everything, I learn quickly, and when I’m finally tired, I turn into the sweetest little cuddle bug. Pick me up, and there’s a very good chance I’ll melt right into you.

And guess what? I’m now in Illinois! No more waiting for me to travel across the country. I’m here and ready to meet my family.

I’m great with kids, dogs, and cats, and I’m neutered and vaccinated. I’m still a puppy, so I’ll need someone ready for training, routines, exercise, and all the goofy moments that come with raising a baby Aussie.

I’m T-Bear, and I’ve already found my way out of that field and into my second chance.
