Bear is a gentle senior gentleman who is as soft as he is affectionate. He thrives on quiet moments and loves to be close to his people. Bear was deeply loved by his previous owner, and it's clear he misses that connection. He enjoys soft pets, gentle words, and all the attention he can soak up. Bear finds comfort in his cozy space and the soft blankets that make up his den. He is learning to be more comfortable with leash walking and would benefit from a secure, fenced yard. Bear is bonded with Rebel, another senior dog from the same home, and they must be adopted together. They enjoy running in the yard, exploring, and napping in the sun. While they might have a minor scuffle over a toy or a spot on the couch, their bond is strong, and they quickly settle back into being best friends.
Ideal Home
Bear would do best in a calm, quiet home with a patient human who can help him feel safe and secure. A fenced yard would be very beneficial for him as he continues to learn leash walking. He gets along with small female dogs but can be a bit hesitant with males, though he is learning to interact with a larger, submissive male dog. He has not been around children or cats, but his gentle nature suggests he would prefer a peaceful environment without a lot of commotion.
Ongoing Health
Bear is a senior dog, and while no specific health conditions are mentioned, senior pets often benefit from regular veterinary check-ups.
Training & Support
Bear is learning to walk on a leash and harness, which is still a new and somewhat scary experience for him. Consistency with a regular potty schedule, especially after meals and a couple of times a day, has been helpful in managing accidents. He may need some reassurance as he adjusts to new routines and environments.
