Bear is a handsome, confident, and people-loving guy who meets the world with enthusiasm and curiosity. He's estimated to be just over 1 year old and weighs 60 lbs, likely a pittie mix. Bear is eager to learn and highly treat-motivated, making him a joy to train. He shines brightest with his people skills, confidently seeking connection and happily participating in whatever you're doing. Bear is fully house and crate trained, and loves to lounge. While he's still embracing his puppy energy and needs continued guidance on leash manners when encountering other dogs, he's responsive to corrections and can settle with clear, consistent handling. Bear is social and interested in other dogs, but can bring a bit too much puppy enthusiasm to play. He has shown respect for boundaries, even with a feisty chihuahua, and will make a fun playmate with the right dog match – a confident, calm, larger female dog would be ideal. Bear has shown curiosity and restraint with cats and may be able to live peacefully with a dog-savvy, confident feline friend with slow introductions. He's active and engaged, thriving in a home that provides regular exercise, mental stimulation, and ongoing training, especially enrichment puzzles. Bear is a good dog with a big heart and a sweet personality, and with a little guidance, he'll be an incredibly rewarding companion.
