Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Introducing Polar Bear, a loving and confident companion looking for his forever home! Polar Bear is currently in foster care and has been doing well in his new environment.
He lives with other dogs and has formed a good relationship with his foster sibling, Margo. They now play together and enjoy each other's company. Polar Bear has also been introduced to other dogs with slow, monitored interactions, always with treats on hand to make it positive and rewarding.
He's doing well when left alone, no longer needing to be crated, and he's fully house trained. Polar Bear is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm, but his demodex mange has cleared up, revealing his softer personality.
He walks well on a leash and doesn't pull. While he initially needed guidance to be crated, he now does well outside of it. He's still learning basic obedience skills but is making progress.
Polar Bear is a loving and confident dog who enjoys snuggling the most. He's not big on toys or fetch but loves going on walks and spending quality time with his human. He's quiet and rarely barks, preferring to be by your side.
