Bear’s story started with adoption but took a tough turn—he was returned and nearly out of time before he was rescued. He’s a young, vocal boy with a strong playful streak who craves love and plenty of cuddle time. Bear’s personality is clear: he’s direct about what he likes and doesn’t, and can get territorial with his food and toys. If you’re looking for a dog who tells you how he feels, Bear fits the bill. He’s good at listening and completely house trained, which keeps daily routines simple. Bear gets along with dogs, cats, and kids, so he fits into many family situations—but his new home should have patience and a willingness to work with his quirks. His loyal, loving side shines brightest once he trusts you, and he deserves a home ready to commit. Click apply to start the adoption process.
