Bear - Maltese and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Bear loves attention from people and other dogs! He is 17-years-old and being a mature, wise boy, he walks well on a leash and is potty trained. He lived with another dog and cats, but his owner fell on hard times and could no longer care for him. He is about 20lbs and recently groomed showing off his cute Maltese / Dachshund haircut.

Bear is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and is in overall good health other than having a lot of dental tarter and a slight heart murmur that does not require medication at this time.

A shelter is no place for a senior pup so please consider giving Bear a loving home. To meet Bear, please complete an adoption application at AbandonedPetRescue.org
