Bear

Bear is a 10-month-old Labrador Retriever mix, weighing around 53 pounds, 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. He needs 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 to help keep him happy and engaged. Yards MUST BE adequately and fully fenced; we do not accept electric or underground fences.

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 stems 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 he is otherwise a loving, social dog. 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.
