About Bear

Bear is a gentle giant who has come a long way from a shelter where he felt too scared to thrive. Weighing 90 pounds, he is about 2-3 years old and has a calm, observant demeanor that draws attention during adoption events—often seen supervising from his spot next to our table. Bear gets along well with other dogs, often greeting lively puppies with a friendly sniff, showing his potential for dog park adventures. Though initially shy around new faces, once he warms up, he reveals his playful side. He is well house trained and intelligent, making him a promising lifelong companion. Bear doesn’t have a background in guarding livestock, so he is not suited for a working role. Instead, he’s set to be a loving house dog and family member for the right owner.
