Bear started life as a show dog and successfully earned his show championship. At the age of 5, he was re-homed to a family who already owned a 9-year-old female Vizsla named Jackie. Unfortunately the family was torn apart by divorce. While they tried to place the two dogs in a home together, Jackie’s age proved to be an issue since she was 14. As a last resort to keep the two together, the family contacted the Vizsla Rescue Haven. At first Bear was scared of every loud noise. He did not play with toys. Having gone through two homes left him insecure. At the Vizsla Rescue Haven, he became relaxed and knew he could trust everyone he met here. His biggest joy was cuddling in bed at night with his human. We had him for several years and miss him dearly. But, we are glad that we were able to make his last years good ones - filled with love, joy, long walks and fun, just like all Vizslas deserve.
