Des Moines Master Animal Control Officer Jan Magnuson is looking for someone to adopt a "Bear" for the holidays.
Actually, this "Bear," is a dog. He's a big dog-- about 90 pounds.

Magnuson guesses he's mostly Labrador retriever, mixed with a little German shepherd.

"Bear" was picked up as a stray and never claimed.

He's about 2 years old and has a very nice friendly personality. But Magnuson warns he's energetic so needs an owner with an active lifestyle. "Bear" does know how to sit and stay, though.

Magnuson reports he is very healthy and has had his veterinarian exam. But he needs to be vaccinated, neutered and have more obedience training. Luckily, the Des Moines Parks Department offers group obedience training at the field house, according to Magnuson.

Anybody interested in "Bear" should contact Magnuson at 206-870-6549 or 206-878-3301.
