About Bear

Meet Bear - Loyal Best Friend

Bear is a handsome 5-month-old puppy weighing approximately 40 pounds. He's sweet, loving, playful, and full of personality, making him a wonderful young companion. Bear enjoys an active lifestyle filled with walks, park runs, toy play, and quality time with his favorite people and furry friends. After his morning adventures, he loves to relax before gearing up for more evening fun. Bear is incredibly affectionate and has a gentle nature; he'll often offer his paw as a sign of trust and affection. He gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, cats, and children, showing the makings of a natural protector and a great big brother. He especially enjoys playing with his sister and has a fondness for canine companionship.

Ideal Home

Bear would thrive in an active family committed to providing daily walks, playtime, and plenty of love. A fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus. He would fit beautifully into a home with children, dogs, cats, or all of the above.

Ongoing Health

Bear has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is on prevention.

Training & Support

Bear is potty trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. He is food and treat motivated and responds well to positive reinforcement. He sleeps quietly in his crate overnight and is comfortable crating for short downtimes. As he is still a puppy, he is working on basic manners like not jumping and understanding appropriate toys. Bear does experience some separation anxiety and thrives on companionship. His ideal family will understand he's still learning and will continue helping him build confidence.
