My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Big Bear! At just 2 years old, this big, bouncy Shepherd mix is full of love, life, and enthusiasm! Big Bear is a handsome goofball who’s still learning his manners, but what he lacks in polish, he makes up for in heart. He can come in a little hot at first — excited to meet new people and ready to play — but once he’s had a moment to settle, you’ll see his sweet, affectionate side shine through. Big Bear loves carrying toys around and proudly showing them off to anyone who will watch. Because of his size and playful mouthiness, Big Bear would do best in a home with children 12 and up, where he can continue to learn and grow with gentle guidance. He’s a great fit for an active person or family who enjoys adventure and doesn’t mind a dog with a little extra personality! If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who will keep you smiling and your heart full, Big Bear is ready to be your loyal sidekick.
