About Bear

Bear is our goofy, playful German Shepherd. He loves going for walks, hiking, and tagging along on any adventure. His happiest moments are when he gets to spend time with his people. Bear is selective about his dog friends, so introductions to other dogs need to be handled carefully—he's not the best with cats, either, so a cat-free home is necessary. However, he absolutely adores children and gets incredibly excited to be around them. We're seeking a loving home that will embrace Bear as a true family member where he can be comfortable, happy, and active. At around 7-8 years old, he’s smart and eager to learn—ready to explore life by your side! Click apply to start the adoption process.
