Bear

Bear is a 5-year-old, 82-pound German Shepherd mix who is ready to bring playfulness, loyalty, and plenty of cheer into your home. He is affectionate with his people and will happily keep you warm with lots of cuddles. Bear forms deep bonds with his humans and has a natural instinct to look out for them. With strangers, he can be reserved at first, preferring slow introductions and a calm environment. But once you're his, he offers the kind of steadfast companionship that makes everyday life feel a little safer. Because Bear has the instinct to guard his person, a trait commonly found in German Shepherds, he needs a home with a firm pack leader(s). He enjoys romping with other dogs and shares his toys. He's clever, knows a few tricks, and is very obedient, especially with a confident leader who understands his loyalty-driven nature and can guide him kindly. He is also fabulous with cats and can often be found curled up with his fosters cat napping the afternoon away.
