Meet Bear, an adorable 7-month-old German Shepherd mix with a striking smile! At 35 pounds, he's not just handsome with his shiny medium-length coat, but also quite the character. Rescued from a shelter in Port Lavaca, Texas, Bear is grateful to be alive thanks to 4 Little Paws Rescue, which saved him and many other pups from uncertain fates. Bear is playful and sweet, always eager for a tummy rub or chest scratches. He can be shy at first but quickly warms up to new friends—in fact, he’s known to settle in on the same day you meet him! This young lad gets along well with both dogs and cats, and he rarely barks, showcasing his gentle nature. Already housebroken, Bear has a playful spirit, much preferring to chase around an empty milk jug than typical toys. His friendly demeanor makes him a great fit for any family. With a portion of his life already spent waiting for his forever home, Bear is ready to bring joy to someone special. If you feel you can provide that loving home, inquire about him today!
