About Bear
Meet Bear! At 5 years old and a sturdy 82 pounds, Bear is a big-hearted German Shepherd mix eager to bring joy and loyalty into your home. He’s affectionate, always ready to shower you with cuddles to keep you warm. Bear forms strong bonds with his humans and has a natural instinct to protect. With strangers, he can be a bit reserved, preferring calm introductions to feel at ease. Once you earn his trust, he becomes a devoted companion who adds safety and warmth to your life. Bear would thrive in a home with a confident owner—a single adult would be ideal, especially if there are other dogs around. While children aren't his preference, teens would be welcome. He enjoys playing with other dogs and generously shares his toys. Highly intelligent, Bear knows several tricks and is obedient, particularly with a strong leader to guide him. Don’t let his tough exterior fool you; he’s fabulous with cats and often found napping alongside his foster’s feline friend.
