Story
Bear Your Main Man is 110 pounds of handsome, and he takes up a very satisfying amount of space beside his person. He’s loving, enjoys being sweet-talked, and is happy to keep you company while you go about your day. His size certainly makes an impression, but the affection is what will have you making room for him at home. And possibly shopping for a bigger dog bed.
Go watch Bear on YouTube to see this gorgeous guy out for a stroll, enjoying a drive around town, and soaking up all the love.

We believe Bear is a Mastiff mix, with a look that reminds us of a Neapolitan Mastiff, though his breed is our best guess. He’s gorgeous, substantial, and a surprisingly low-key for a dog who has such a presence.
At home, Bear is happy to putz around with you. Going into the kitchen? He might come along. Settling in for a quiet evening? Wonderful. He’ll find a spot to stretch out and become a very large rug. Being near his person and having somewhere comfortable to lounge suits him perfectly.
Bear seems especially drawn to women, men are welcome but can you blame a big boy for having heart for a lady? Of course not! For a woman who loves big dogs, his devoted company and impressive presence is a lovely combination. He’s easy to picture beside you during a quiet evening, close enough for an occasional head rub while you unwind.
He’s also a wonderful car companion. Bear generally hops right in and settles nicely in the back seat, ready to enjoy the ride. After a longer walk, a little sweet talk may help him decide to make the hop but its no trouble at all despite his size. And if there’s a chance to catch a breeze through an open window, he will be extra pleased to tag along on whatever adventure you choose.
Walks with Bear are enjoyable, too. He has a great pace and walks nicely on leash. Squirrels can catch his attention, but he responds well to guidance. At 110 pounds, he’ll need a confident handler who is comfortable managing a large dog and can help him keep his enthusiasm about those pesky squirells in check.
Bear knows sit, shake, and down, and he takes his treat payments gently. He also loves the water, so a chance to splash around would be a lovely addition to his otherwise fairly chill and leisurely agenda.
If you ask Bear what his dream match would be we are sure he would say - a home where he is the only dog so he can enjoy his people all to himself. That does not mean dogs are not welcome but Bear doesn't need them to be happy. One of his current doggie friends is an easygoing female dog who understands all he wants is peaceful companionship and will pass on wrestling or chasing.
Good company on a walk, a handsome passenger in the car, and a big, loving presence at home—Bear is ready to be your main man. A little sweet talk, some room to stretch out, and a person to adore would make him very, very happy.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
