Alpine’s Pet of the Week: Bear’s adoption fee is $50 through Sunday

Bear, a dog who gets excited to meet people and other dogs, is Alpine Animal Services’ Pet of the Week. His adoption fee is $50, half the usual price, through Sunday, Nov. 15. The fee includes neutering, a heartworm test, a microchip and vaccinations. Bear returned to the shelter Oct. 27 after two years with an owner who could no longer care for him following a lifestyle change, the shelter said. Shelter staff say Bear walks well on a leash, knows how to sit and appears to be house-trained. He keeps his kennel clean and rarely passes up a treat or a cuddle. Prospective adopters can meet Bear at the Alpine Animal Services Shelter, 2900 Old Marathon Highway.
