K9 Bear continues to enjoy retirement in sunny Arizona and we are extremely grateful for the support of Mark-9, their staff, and their donors.

Update 2025:  Bear has been taking it easy lately, lounging a bit more, especially when he gets to watch football with his best buddy, Camden. He’s thriving in his Arizona retirement, spending sunny summer days cooling off in the pool. We’re endlessly thankful for the incredible support and kindness from Mark-9. Thank you!!!
