Bear is a handsome, confident, and people-loving guy with a big personality. He's estimated to be just over a year old and weighs 60 lbs, likely a pittie mix. Bear is eager to learn and is treat-motivated, making him a joy to train. He thrives on human interaction and enjoys being part of whatever you're doing, whether it's lounging nearby or seeking attention. Bear is already house and crate trained, and he's been praised by his foster for his lovely lounging skills. While he's still in his playful puppy phase and needs some guidance on leash manners, especially around other dogs, he's responsive to corrections and can settle with consistent handling. He's social and interested in other dogs, but his play style can be a bit too enthusiastic for some. However, he's shown he can be respectful once he gets to know other dogs, as he learned from a feisty chihuahua. Bear would do well with a confident, calm, larger female dog who won't be overwhelmed by his energy. He has also shown curiosity and restraint around cats, suggesting he could live peacefully with a dog-savvy feline friend with slow introductions. Bear is active and engaged but not hyper, and he'll flourish in a home that provides regular exercise, mental stimulation, and ongoing training. He particularly enjoys enrichment puzzles! Bear is a good dog with a big heart and a sweet personality who is ready to learn all the rules with a little guidance.
