Featured Animal of the Week

Meet Bear

Bear, a beautiful 2-year-old German Shepherd, was adopted in July 2024 and lived happily with his dad until he passed away in April 2026. According to family, they bonded quickly and were inseparable. Bear is loyal and protective and would do best as an only animal! He's a big boy at 108 pounds and very powerful. Due to the sudden change in his life, Bear is confused and sad. A temporary foster home would be an ideal environment for Bear as he transitions to a new adoptive home. If you are interested in fostering Bear, you can submit a foster application at https://hsburnettcty.org/foster/ or contact the shelter’s foster coordinator, Bradi Petschke at 715-557-1896.
