Bear is a handsome, confident, and people-loving dog with a big presence and an even bigger personality! Estimated to be just over 1 year old and weighing around 60 lbs, he's likely a pittie mix, though his exact breed and age are best guesses, as is common with rescue. What's certain is that Bear is eager to learn and thrives with positive reinforcement, especially when treats are involved! He's already house and crate trained, and he loves to be part of whatever you're doing, whether it's lounging nearby or soaking up attention.
Ideal Home
Bear would do well with a confident, calm, larger female dog who won't be overwhelmed by his size or playfulness. He also shows potential to live peacefully with a dog-savvy, confident cat, with slow introductions being essential. He'll thrive in a home that can provide regular exercise, mental stimulation, and ongoing training.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Bear is still in his puppy stages and will need continued guidance, particularly on leash when he sees other dogs. He can get a little overly enthusiastic during play with other dogs, but he respects boundaries once he gets to know them. He responds well to corrections and can settle with clear, consistent handling. Enrichment puzzles are a great way to provide mental stimulation for him.
