Bear is a gentle soul with a story that's shaped his sensitive and deeply expressive nature. At 4 years old, this sweet shepherd has already been through more than most. He experienced abuse in his first home, and because of that, Bear takes a little time to build trust-but once he does, you'll see just how special he truly is. There isn't a mean bone in his body-only kindness, loyalty, and a quiet desire to feel safe and loved. Bear absolutely adores the company of other dogs and really thrives with a canine companion by his side. They help him feel more confident and bring out his playful, relaxed side. He is housebroken, fully vetted, and ready for a home that will give him the patience and understanding he deserves. If you're willing to go slow and let Bear come to you on his terms, you'll gain a deeply devoted companion who will love you with his whole heart. WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. Bear is CURRENTLY LOCATED IN KERRVILLE, TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION.
