About Bear

Bear is a young, active dog weighing in at 61 lbs. As a Lab/Anatolian mix, he's eager for daily exercise and mental stimulation. While he’s new to us, we believe he’d do well in the city after some adjustment. This pup is on board with the foster-to-adopt program, allowing you to experience pet ownership before making a final commitment. Bear requires an intermediate level of dog ownership experience, which means he thrives with structured care and at least 90 minutes of movement each day, in addition to quick potty breaks. With a medium energy level, he enjoys walks and playtime, along with mental challenges like trick training. In terms of socialization, Bear gets along with other dogs, though we’re still learning the extent of his interactions. His comfort with cats is still being assessed, but with respectful kids aged 8 and up, he may fit right in. Always supervised interactions with children are crucial. Bear is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and likely house trained, although you may need to adjust with a consistent walking schedule initially. This dog has health affirmed by our vet upon intake. Bear is not at the Social Tees office, but rather in a loving foster home. If you are looking for a companion who needs structure, exercise, and the potential for a rewarding bond, consider adopting Bear. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
