My personality

My story

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

Meet TruBear!

A spirited two-and-a-half-year-old mixed breed currently in Kenly, NC, whose essence is a joyful whirlwind of playfulness wrapped in a sleek black coat with charming white accents.

TruBear is the definition of a companion dog, where you go, he goes! Whether you're heading to the kitchen, the backyard, or just settling in for a movie night, this affectionate pup is right by your side, tail wagging and heart full. He’s already house-trained, neutered, and knows a handful of handy commands like “sit,” “let’s go,” “leave it,” and “go potty.” He walks beautifully on a leash and responds well to gentle guidance, making him a dream for caregivers who enjoy both structured strolls and spontaneous backyard zoomies.

At 45 pounds, TruBear is medium-sized but filled to the brim with big energy and even bigger love. His days are happiest when filled with tug-of-war, racing the kids through the yard, and savoring his favorite rawhide bones. He currently lives with two older children (ages 9 and 12), and he thrives with their playful energy. That said, his exuberance may be a bit overwhelming for very young children or toddlers, he’s just so excited to be included in the fun!

While TruBear has shown no aggression toward cats, he does have a strong prey drive and may find feline friends a little too interesting to resist chasing. A cat-free home would be the most comfortable fit for everyone. He’s met other dogs, but his interactions have been limited, so slow introductions and supervised playdates would be helpful if another pup is in the picture.

Health-wise, TruBear is in great shape, though he occasionally needs a quick ear cleaning to stay comfortable. A loving guardian who can maintain his simple routine, and match his zest for life, will find a joyful, loyal partner in him.

Are you ready to welcome a cheerful, constant companion who’s eager to fill your days with laughter, love, and maybe a few well-placed paw taps?
