Bear - Black Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Sacramento, California

Hi there, I'm Bear! I'm a gorgeous 3-month-old puppy and I've been waiting patiently for my forever home as all my other siblings have gotten adopted. I'm ready to bring playful energy and cuddles to your home. I am already crate-trained and making amazing strides with potty-training. I get along wonderfully with dogs and kids (given my young age, I'm confident I could acclimate to cats and other critters as well with proper introductions). I'm looking for an adopter who can dedicate time and energy to giving me lots of physical and mental stimulation, as I'm a smart boy! I would do best in a home where someone works from home at least part-time as 8 hours is too long to leave such a young pup like me alone. I promise to fill your days with laughter, loyalty, and plenty of puppy love. Come meet me and let's start our adventure together!

[Update: An adopter of one of Bear's siblings did a DNA test and the results were German Shepherd, Pitbull, and Great Dane! This particular puppy looks very different from Bear, however, so we suspect they may have different fathers. To us, Bear looks like a Black Lab, and he's very mellow!]

All HHR dogs come vaccinated (as age appropriate) and microchipped. All dogs over the age of 6 months are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. For puppies under 6 months, adopters must complete a spay/neuter contract and remit a refundable deposit of $350, which will be returned upon proof of spay/neuter, to be completed at 6 months old.
