About Bear

Bear is a handsome 10-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who is searching for a peaceful, loving home. Weighing in at about 50 pounds, he truly shines as a devoted companion for adults. Bear is affectionate and loves to snuggle; he will often rest his head on your chest and happily follow you around the house. He enjoys being part of daily life, even ‘helping’ in the kitchen by watching intently from nearby. Treats are a must for every outdoor adventure. Adjusting to life after losing his previous owner has proven challenging for Bear. His anxiety around children and other animals means he needs an adult-only home without any pets, ensuring a calm and predictable environment. In his current situation, he has shown aggression towards both a toddler and a dog, making these boundaries crucial for everyone's safety. Yet, Bear handles being left alone well and enjoys leisurely walks. Bear is not seeking a bustling household. Instead, he longs for someone who will appreciate a mature dog ready to curl up beside them and soak up love. With patience, consistency, and the right environment, Bear can thrive and find joy in his senior years. Ready to meet this gentle boy? Click apply to start the adoption process.
