Bear is a 10-month-old Labrador Retriever mix, weighing about 53 pounds, 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 has never shown aggression toward people or other animals and truly enjoys being around everyone. He loves making new friends and is happiest when he has company, whether that's his human family or canine companions.
Ideal Home
Bear is looking for an active family that understands he's still very much a puppy at heart. A home with another playful dog is highly preferred, or a doggy daycare would be an excellent outlet for him. Yards MUST be adequately and fully fenced to adopt our pups; 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, a behavior that stems from his past experiences. While he is comfortable with his trusted caregiver, he can become protective of his food around other dogs, so he must be fed separately. This behavior is limited to feeding situations. His adopters should be committed to managing feeding time appropriately and continuing positive reinforcement training to help him build confidence and trust. With proper exercise, structure, and love, he will reward his family with endless affection, loyalty, and entertainment.
