Strawberry (Bear Bear) is a sweet little medium energy chihuahua mix. She was born around 10/1/2024 and she is currently 10-11 lbs. She came with her buddy Vanilla and they get along well. They can be adopted together or separately. Bear Bear is smart, playful, affectionate and silly. She loves romping around the house and yard with her dog buddies and playing chase with them. She has started to discover stuffed toys and will play a bit with them. She likes chewing on bully sticks and other chewy bones. She becomes quite bonded to her people and once comfortable she will happily follow them around the house and yard. Bear Bear can be quite shy/timid when meeting new people but has shown she can warm up with slow, gentle introductions and treats. Bear Bear is crate trained, doing well with house training and learning to walk politely on a leash. She currently lives with friendly, well balanced dogs and she gets along well with them. She also lives with dog savvy kitties and is respectful with them. Children would likely overwhelm her so only dog savvy, respectful children over 12 are recommended. She loves a yard so no apartments for her. Bear Bear would likely do well in a home with another young, friendly dog to romp around with, help boost her confidence, show her the ropes and keep her company while her humans are away from home. She enjoys being the center of her family’s life and wants to be included in daily activities. She would not enjoy being left home alone daily for long hours. Someone who has the time, patience and willingness to work with a shy dog would be ideal. Bear Bear is an endearing, sweet little dog who has a quirky, funny side to her once she is comfortable in a new home. She is an absolute joy to foster and she is patiently waiting for her forever home.
