Oh, hello you! Bear (Bonded with Harli) here.
I've been waiting for someone who understands that the best love stories have two main characters—me and my sister Harli—and we're ready to write ours with you.
I'm the calm one (it's in writing). A quiet home and a patient hand and I'm yours.
I won't fib — there's a little grey on my muzzle. "Older" just means I'm past the wild puppy chaos and all in on cozy company.
I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.
I've been holding down the fort in Petaluma, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Labor Day could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Either way, thank you for seeing me today. That part mattered more than you know. — Bear (Bonded with Harli)

About Bear (Bonded with Harli)
This sweet bonded pair ended up at the Kern County Shelter after their owner passed away. They had been with her since they were young and were very well-loved family members. Sadly, they started shutting down at the shelter, but luckily a kind foster stepped up and has been caring for them for the past several months. Slowly over time, the pair started to come out of their shell in foster, living with 3 other dogs and getting along well with everyone. They spend most of their day lounging. Bear loves toys and won't go anywhere without his stuffy. He's attentive to his sister, Harli who is a little more shy, keeping an eye out for her, never going too far. By the time their foster had to go overseas to care for family, they had become shelter favorites with many advocating for a new place for them. Fortunately, Lily's was able to take them in and they are in foster in San Rafael. Here is what their foster has to say about them: "The two most adorable bonded pair I have ever seen. Harli is sweet and shy. She is often afraid to go outside to greet my other dogs, so Bear will be by her side and he is her best bud and will always be with her. I have seen him give her kisses on the face to reassure her. They are an easy pair. They want mostly to be with their person and to have their bellies rubbed or their back scratched. They are not aggressive. They eat their food together peacefully and do not guard their food or toys. They are shy and weary of their five resident doggy foster siblings, so they would probably do best with a smaller pack, either just them or maybe one other dog. Wherever they go, their new guardian would be so incredibly lucky to have them. I have only fostered them for six days and already love them so much. They're an easy loving pair. Please consider adopting them. You will love them!"
