At the City of San Bernardino Animal Services, “Bear” is as cuddly as any teddy bear. He stayed perfectly still when asked to pose for his shelter portrait with a cookie on his head. And here he is – just one-year-old, and he is already on the euthanasia list at the shelter.

SUPER URGENT! PLEASE PLEASE—WE ABSOLUTELY CANNOT LET THEM KILL HIM!
WE CAN DONATE AND/OR SPONSOR HIM AT THE RESCUE!
LET US KNOW HOW!
We have been calling all rescues in the area, not one call back – spoke to shelter they said rescue only but why not a foster or adoption if we or they will help pay for medical??
Poor guy to end up at San Bernardino where nearly ALL pit bulls end up rescue only and euthanized first. Doesn’t matter how nice and friendly they are. SB is a death sentence for pitties. I hope a rescue steps up and saves him.
