Bear is a fun-loving, 4-year-old shepherd mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He's all about playtime, car rides, and ending the day glued to his favorite human (lap dog? absolutely). He grew up with an 8-year-old kiddo and is great with children, though his happy, bouncy energy means very small kids should be supervised. Bear enjoys other dogs and would do great as a solo pup or joining a pack. He's house-trained, kennel-trained, and happily tucks himself in at night — unless you invite him to share the bed (those brown eyes are very persuasive). At ~50 lbs, Bear is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and professional snuggler. He's ready to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love into his next home.
