About Bear

Bear is the latest member of the PAWS family. He’s still getting accustomed to his new surroundings, but it’s clear he’s a big cuddle bug who thrives on affection. Bear has already discovered that he loves being close to people, whether it’s lounging next to them or receiving some much-deserved attention. As he learns to communicate his needs, Bear can get a little jumpy when he's excited. However, he’s quick to grasp new commands, having already mastered "sit." He’s intelligent and eager to please, making training a rewarding experience. Having lived with a young toddler before, Bear did well with children, though it’s essential to teach kids how to interact safely with dogs. When it comes to other dogs, Bear has shown curiosity and interest but hasn’t yet been engaged in play sessions, so it’ll be interesting to see how he develops in that area. As for cats, Bear has no prior experience, so introductions should be done slowly and with care. Though still adjusting, Bear is proving to be a sweet and affectionate companion. He’s not quite ready for adoption yet, but meet-and-greets are underway for those eager to meet him. Once neutered, he’ll be ready for his forever home. Are you the perfect family for Bear? Let's find out together!
