We don’t know how he ended up there, but we got word about a young Eskie in a local shelter.
He had been there since last month- wasn’t chipped, wasn’t neutered, needed vaccines, and most of all- needed a forever home. (I still can’t believe he wasn’t scooped up IMMEDIATELY!!)
It’s always sad to see ANY dog, cat, or animal in a shelter, but American Eskimos are the breed nearest to my heart- I got my first Eskie at just 11 or 12 years old, and we’ve had them ever since. (I’m 46 now, so that’s a lotta years, lol).😆
Some of you might know, my Dad had went into heart failure 3 weeks ago and had a pacemaker put in. Dad (and all of us) had a scary few weeks, and so when it was Dad who told me, “let’s go get him!”.. that we did! And, Dad also asked to name him.. (in the shelter his name was only listed as A391137, so he needed one).
Dad has named him “Bear”, after his favorite football team, the Chicago Bears (of course). 🐻
Ironically, when we picked him up, we got a goody bag from the shelter, and the toy inside was a toy bear! I told them how fitting- must be a sign it was meant to be. 💚
(We even have a tiny little doggie Bears jersey on the way for him too, lol). 😆
Bear just got here, and when I tell you he INSTANTLY is fitting in with our Eskie pack- it’s unreal, like he’s lived here for years.
He went from an anxious boy at the shelter when we picked him up, to already a smiley happy boy standing in the middle of the living room & home that will forever be his, (and shared with a few more just like him). 😉💚
