About Bear

Bear is a 10-month-old Labrador Retriever mix, weighing in at about 53 pounds, and he’s bursting with love and energy. This friendly boy gets along great with dogs, cats, and kids, making him a wonderful family companion. He’s sweet-natured, has never shown any aggression, and enjoys the company of both humans and animals alike. As a young pup, he has plenty of rambunctious energy. Bear loves to run and play, and he’ll need an active family that can provide the exercise and engagement he craves. Ideally, he would thrive in a home with another playful dog or even attend doggy daycare for added socialization. Bear is house-trained but isn't crate trained yet. He does have food-related resource guarding, a challenge stemming from his past experiences living on the streets. He needs to be fed separately from other dogs to manage this behavior. However, it’s important to understand that with consistent feeding and positive reinforcement training, we often see this behavior diminish over time. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion to join you on life’s adventures, Bear could be your perfect match. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for a new home. Bear is currently being fostered in Texas but can travel anywhere in the States or Canada for the right match. Transport arrangements can be made with approved adopters. Interested families must have securely fenced yards and are encouraged to apply to meet him via video chat. His adoption fee of $500 helps cover his vetting and care, making it not just an investment in Bear's future but in the lives of other rescue animals as well. This loving pup is waiting for his forever home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
