Bear arrived from Eastern Washington and has settled into his foster home for over a year. He lives up to his name, weighing in at 125 pounds and embodying all the warmth of a teddy bear. At 8 years old, Bear has a gentle nature and wins over everyone he meets, including people of all ages and his vet. Vaccinations are up to date. Bear was raised alongside a small dog and gets along with his foster siblings after slow introductions, but he can be reactive toward unfamiliar dogs and may bark or lunge at first meetings. He’d likely do best as an only dog, but with time, patience, and positive introductions, he can coexist with another calm dog. Cat experience is unknown. Despite his size, Bear craves affection and will dole out high-fives or roll in the grass, just happy to be around his people. He’s house trained, crate trained, and picking up manners—though still working on avoiding counters. Bear responds best to force-free training and is eager to please, showing steady improvement in meeting other dogs respectfully. This big, happy dog is ready to find his forever home in Washington State or nearby regions. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
