About Bear

Meet Bear, a stunning dog with long, black hair that makes him truly stand out. He came to us when his owner could no longer care for him, but his affectionate nature remains intact. Bear is house trained and enjoys the company of dogs his size, although he tends to shy away from smaller ones. His excitement shows when meeting new people; he just loves getting treats and pets! Given his limited experience with small children, a meet-and-greet with any potential young family members is essential before adoption. All dogs adopted from Green Hills Animal Shelter are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and come with a starter bag of Hills Science Diet food. Let Bear bring joy to your home. Ready to fall in love?
