My name is
Bear!

Name: Bear

Nicknames: Bear Bear 

Age: Adult

Weight: 80 lbs

Other dogs: Should be the only dog in the home

Cats: No

Kids: Older kids OK due to size

Housing -  Bear requires a house with a fenced in yard

Best qualities: So sweet and gentle. Loves the simple things in life. Give Bear Bear a ball, a peanut butter bone and a yard and he is a happy boy.

Most unique trait: How much his butt wiggles when he has a ball. The way he pouts when he’s mad.

In the house: Very good boy. Quiet and non-destructive. Not a big cuddler but loves a good butt scratch or belly rub. Happy to hang out and chew on a bone or ball in between naps. Crate trained, housebroken, OK with baths. Just wants to be with his humans!

Out and about: Bear Bear is working on dog reactivity, especially small dogs and those on leash, and working on being in new situations. He is also overcoming his fear of ducks, cats and other small animals. He needs an owner with experience, patience and confidence. For Bear's safety, he has been muzzle-trained for walks and this will be a requirement for his adopted family.

Dietary/medical requirements: Environmental allergies – on Benadryl and allergy shots.

What foster mom/dad wants you to know: Bear Bear is a sweet, sensitive soul in a big, beefy bod. Once he warms up to you his silly side comes out! He is a card-carrying member of the “ball is life” club and loves a good nap in the sun. Outside his yard, Bear sometimes thinks the world is a scary place, and he’ll need an experienced dog owner with calm, confident energy so that he can feel safe.
