Meet the charming Bheema, a delightful 1-year-old lad residing in the bustling city of Seattle! This handsome fella may be a bit cautious about the world around him, but oh, what a heart he has! 💖 Bheema is on a journey to build his confidence and would thrive in a serene home where he can feel completely secure while working on overcoming his protective nature. Originally brought in as a stray from a small shelter in Eastern Washington, Bheema was adopted by a loving couple in August 2025. While he was just a teenager when he came into their lives, his road to comfort hasn’t been all smooth sailing. His current family has been doing an amazing job by collaborating with trainers and veterinarians, but Seattle's lively atmosphere has proven to be a bit overwhelming for our sensitive boy. 🌆 They realized that the couple’s busy lives weren't the best match for Bheema's gentle soul, and that's why he's looking for a fresh start with a patient new family. Weighing in at 90 pounds, Bheema is a big bundle of love! He adores his favorite humans, showering them with endless cuddles and affection. His playful side is just waiting to shine; he loves to romp around in open spaces and delights in smart games that challenge his mind! 🐾 Strangers, however, can make him feel a tad anxious. Bheema may bark or growl to express that he’s a protector by nature, but with the right guidance and a little love, he can learn that not all visitors are threats. He’s particularly good with other dogs; while he might prefer the company of gentle females, every playdate becomes an opportunity for him to learn and grow! Bheema truly thrives with companionship and would benefit from a home with a friendly, confident dog buddy to show him the ropes. He’s great at commands like sit, stay, and come, eager to please his family while learning to be more self-assured! 🧠 At nighttime, Bheema does really well in his crate, but he needs support during the day as he struggles with separation anxiety. Leaving him crated unattended can lead to panic, so having someone around during the day or hiring a dog sitter is crucial for this precious boy. He’s also on medication to help manage his anxiety, highlighting how important a dedicated and understanding owner is for Bheema. 🌟 Let’s not forget: Bheema is a true adventurer at heart! He cherishes nature, loves to sniff out new scents, and would make an incredible hiking companion. Imagine the joy as you both explore the great outdoors! 🌲 Bheema is looking for someone like YOU, someone who can provide the love, patience, and encouragement he needs.
