Bear

Bear is a 10-month-old, 53-pound Labrador Retriever mix who is bursting with love, personality, and youthful enthusiasm! This handsome boy is incredibly sweet and friendly, and he gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and children. Bear truly enjoys being around everyone and is happiest when he has company, whether that's his human family or canine companions. He loves to run, play, and burn off energy, making him a fantastic partner for an active family. Bear is house-trained and is looking for a family that will provide him with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.

Ideal Home

An active family that can provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. A home with another playful dog is highly preferred, or a doggy daycare would be an excellent outlet for him. A fully and adequately fenced yard is a must; electric or underground fences are not accepted.

Ongoing Health

Bear is fully vetted, neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and kept on heartworm and flea prevention.

Training & Support

Bear is house-trained but not yet crate trained. He does have food-related resource guarding, which is believed to stem from his time on the streets. While he is comfortable and relaxed with his trusted caregiver, he can become protective of his food around other dogs and must be fed separately. This behavior is limited to feeding situations, and it is expected to diminish and eventually disappear with consistent feeding schedules and positive reinforcement training. Adopters should be committed to managing feeding times appropriately and continuing positive reinforcement training to help him build confidence and trust.
