Bear is a striking, large mixed breed who’s tough to forget—his signature head tilt softens even the hardest day. His past was rough; Bear survived a kill shelter in Louisiana and escaped a cruel former owner who mutilated his ears. Despite it all, he’s deeply affectionate, loyal, and eager to bond with his person. Once Bear trusts you, that loyalty runs deep and unwavering. He’s happiest with a single owner or a couple rather than a busy family. Bear does not get along with children or cats and should be the only animal in the house. He is house and crate trained, knows a handful of basic commands, and enjoys relaxing or playing in equal measure. Bear requires an adopter who owns their home and is ready to offer genuine, consistent companionship. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
