About Bear

Meet Bear, a 2.5-year-old male Anatolian Shepherd mix ready for adoption. Weighing about 100 lbs, Bear embodies love and affection. Though he can be a bit cautious around men, he shines with women and is friendly with cats, proving to be great around them since he has lived with two. Previously abandoned and discovered tied to a post outside a Petco, Bear has shown resilience and is currently on the path to recovery. He is scheduled for neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping. Bear does have a bit of a whine when he sees other dogs, but early interactions indicate he could do well once properly introduced. He’s also house trained and is learning to get into the car on his own. Bear could be a wonderful companion for the right family, especially those with a love for large breeds and an understanding of his gentle nature. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
