Bear is a loving, big boy that's just a cuddle magnet in teddy bear form. If you've had an Aussie before, you know they stick like Velcro. Expect Bear to follow you around the house, making sure you're never alone. Whether he’s resting his head on your lap, bringing his favorite toy, or demanding belly rubs, he ensures you feel adored. After losing his dad, Bear's elderly mom couldn’t care for him, leading to some extra pounds. Thankfully, his foster home has ramped up his activity, and his new family will need to continue encouraging his wellness journey. Bear loves outdoor playtime, especially when fetching balls or frisbees. While he’s friendly with other dogs, he hasn't learned proper dog etiquette and may come off as awkward at times. Because he's always been an only dog, some social interactions should be supervised. He’s never encountered cats, so he might mistake them for giant squirrels. Ultimately, Bear seeks a loving home where he can be the center of attention, providing joy while he settles at your feet in the evening. Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, Bear is around 6 years old. He’s currently being fostered in Olympia, WA, but we have volunteer drivers willing to transport him anywhere in the PNW for the right match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
