Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 3-year-old Bear.

Here is Baypath’s description of Bear:

“Meet Bear, a special soul looking for his forever home!

“Bear is a stunning, sweet-natured, blind labradoodle with a heart full of love to give! This special boy doesn’t let his lack of sight slow him down — he enjoys exploring safe areas on leash walks and relies on his people for guidance and comfort.

“Bear gets along well with other dogs, though he prefers laid-back companions over high-energy playmates. He has also lived with a dog-savvy cat and done well!

“This gentle boy would thrive in a home with teens and adults who understand his needs. A secure, fenced-in yard would be ideal so he can safely roam and enjoy his surroundings. As a labradoodle, he will need regular grooming to keep his beautiful coat healthy, so breed experience or education is a plus!

“If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate and truly special companion, Bear is ready to meet you! Start the process today and give this gorgeous boy the loving home he deserves!”
