Bear is a 6-year-old mixed breed with a heart as big as his name suggests—and once you meet him, you’ll understand why “Bear” fits him perfectly! Recently surrendered through no fault of his own after spending over a year with a loving family, Bear is ready to start his next chapter with someone who will cherish him just as much. This sweet boy is everything you could hope for in a companion and more. Bear is the ultimate lover—he adores being close to his people and will happily soak up all the pets, cuddles, and belly rubs you’re willing to give. His gentle, laid-back nature makes him an easygoing presence in any home, but don’t be surprised when his excitement shows through with the cutest full-body wiggles! Bear’s friendliness doesn’t stop with people—he’s wonderful with kids and makes a gentle, patient companion for families. He also gets along beautifully with other dogs and cats. Bear loves to play with other dogs, and his submissive, laid-back play style makes him an especially great match for a wide variety of canine friends. At around 50 pounds, he’s the perfect medium size: big enough for great hugs, but not too big to handle comfortably. He’s also a well-mannered gentleman! Bear is house-trained, crate-trained, knows his basic commands, and is eager to keep learning. He walks beautifully on leash and even enjoys outings to dog-friendly restaurants—making him a fantastic companion for both cozy nights in and fun adventures out. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and easygoing best friend, Bear might just be your perfect match.
