About Bear

Bear is a sweet and handsome boy who found himself at the shelter due to his owner's health. It's clear he was deeply loved and is about 4.5 years old and over 100 pounds. Bear knows commands such as sit, come, and heel, and "stay" when he feels like being a good listener. He walks well on a leash, adores playing ball, and is a very friendly and great family dog. Bear does best with female dogs and is also content being the only dog in a home.

Ideal Home

Bear would thrive in a home where he can get plenty of play time, especially with a ball! He's a great family dog and enjoys the company of female dogs or can be a solo pup.

Ongoing Health

Bear is up-to-date on all age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives. He will receive a health exam and a certificate from a veterinarian within 10 days of departure.

Training & Support

Bear is a good listener and knows several commands. He enjoys playing ball and walks well on a leash.
