Notes from Bear's foster: Hi, I’m Bear! Don’t let my shyness or my age fool you. I may take a little time to warm up to new people and environments, but once I do, my loving and playful personality shines through. I’m house-trained, smart, quiet, curious and a good listener. I enjoy observing my surroundings and learn quickly. I know my name, understand “no”, sit, and I’m currently working on more commands. I love being with my foster family - I play nice with my senior foster sister and follow my foster mom around the house and lay at her feet. I love being outside, especially going for walks, and I do pretty well on a leash. Food is my favorite thing - I'm highly motivated by treats, and I do a little dance for mealtime! I don't like to share my food and prefer my separate space when I eat. I’m looking for a calm, patient home where I can feel safe, build confidence, and truly come out of my shell. If you’re willing to give me the love and time I need, I promise to be a loyal and rewarding companion. Come meet me!
