About Bear

Bear is a sweet and handsome boy who came to us when his owner fell ill. He's about 4.5 years old, weighs over 100 pounds, and clearly knows he's a good boy! Bear knows commands like sit, come, and heel, and will even stay when he feels like being a good listener. He's a pro on the leash, absolutely loves playing ball, and is a super friendly dog who would make a great family pet. Bear does best with female dogs and is also perfectly happy being the only dog in the house.

Ideal Home

Bear is a great family dog who loves to play ball and is good on the leash. He does best with female dogs or can be the only dog in the home.

Ongoing Health

Bear is current on all age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and flea/heartworm prevention. A health exam will be completed by a veterinarian within 10 days of departure.

Training & Support

Bear knows several commands including sit, come, heel, and stay.
