Bear is a handsome, confident, and people-loving guy with a big personality and an even bigger heart! He's estimated to be just over 1 year old and weighs about 60 lbs, likely a pittie mix. Bear is eager to learn and responsive, especially when treats are involved, making him a joy to train. He truly shines when it comes to his people skills, seeking connection with a warm and easygoing nature. He's happy to be by your side or just lounge nearby, soaking up your attention. Bear is already house and crate trained, and his foster mom raves about how lovely he is for lounging.
Ideal Home
Bear would thrive in a home that can provide regular exercise, mental stimulation, and ongoing training. He enjoys enrichment puzzles, which are great for keeping his brain engaged. He would do well with a confident, calm, larger female dog who won't be overwhelmed by his size or playful energy. Bear has shown curiosity and restraint around cats, suggesting he could live peacefully with a dog-savvy, confident feline friend with slow introductions.
Ongoing Health
Bear is a healthy, active boy.
Training & Support
As Bear is still in his playful puppy phase, he's experiencing a lot of life for the first time. He'll need continued guidance on leash to manage his excitement when he sees other dogs, though he does respond well to corrections and can settle with clear, consistent handling. While Bear is social and interested in playing with other dogs, his puppy-like enthusiasm can sometimes be a bit too much. He has shown respect for other dogs once he gets to know them, as seen with his previous foster's chihuahua. With structure, proper introductions, and the right dog match, he'll be a wonderful playmate.
