Bear was rescued by the Texas Alaskan Malamute Rescue in August 2007 from Harris County Animal Control. Bear was emancipated and quite a scared boy. After time Bear got better but still remained scared in certain situations so he earned the nickname Scary Bear. Bear was also shy around some men so that was something to keep observing. We think Bear may have abused in his past life.
Bear was fostered in November 2007 by Rick and Delilah H.. He instantly had 3 dog buddies (and 1 cat buddy) including 2 other Mals to play with and that they did. Bear, Buck, and Miki would have WWF matches in the living room for whoever would watch them. Bear got to go to parks where he could run his little heart out. He was so fast. He loved to snuggle on a couch if it was available or with you if you were available! Bear did very well in a house. He was housetrained; crate trained, and got along with dogs and cats.
While he was being fostered sometimes Bear got to go along on home visits and checks. On one of the visits, the folks fell in love with Bear and he liked them too. Rick and Delilah at first thought maybe not yet because Bear was still very skinny and had to gain weight but the folks were sure that this was the right Mal for them. So Bear found a home and we wished him happily ever after. We would check in on Bear every once in awhile and he was doing well. We got to see him at the calendar shoot for the 2009 Calendar. He looked like a different dog! He had gained some weight and seemed happy. See his calendar pictures here.
