This was a rescue dog, he was marked as vicious and dog aggressive, bound for euthanasia. He had been placed with a " reputable, German Shepherd savvy rescue" in another state, after we had him transported, they felt euthanasia was the best option for him. We disagreed and flew "Bear" back from MN to WVa.He'll be our's forever and us his, because we believe that by trading kisses, love , understanding and patience, he'll blossom. He already is. This is Bear and I at the airport the day he " came home to stay."
