About Bear

Meet Bear! Bear is a charming 10-month-old mix of German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees, and possibly Golden Retriever. He brings a big personality and an even bigger heart to those around him. Formerly known as Giggles, he's affectionate, playful, and always eager to be part of the action. Whether it's playing with toys, taking long walks, or just soaking up attention, Bear thrives on interaction. He even has a knack for chatting back, making it feel like a real conversation! This clever boy is potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained. He often puts himself to bed when he's ready to call it a night! Bear relishes car rides, loves treats, and is always up for an adventure. He gets along well with other dogs and has been great with older children, though his experience with cats remains unclear. Unfortunately, Bear's previous family found he's not the best fit in a home with a toddler, so they’ve decided it's best for him to find a new environment where he can feel at ease. Bear would do best in an active household without young kids. A family with older, dog-savvy teenagers who can respect his boundaries would be ideal. As a young large-breed dog, he will thrive with consistent training, exercise, and plenty of love. This sweet boy has so much to offer and simply needs the right environment to truly shine. We're eager to find Bear a loving family who will appreciate his playful spirit and give him the forever home he deserves!
