About Bear Local

Meet Bear, a 10-month-old Border Collie mix and your future cuddle buddy. Weighing around 60 pounds, Bear is not just a handsome pup; he’s affectionate and eager to bond with his people. This playful guy loves to snuggle up close, often curling into a little ball after a day full of adventures. As a Border Collie mix, Bear thrives on exercise and consistent structure. His foster has seen how clarity and one-on-one attention can bring out the best in him. He’s ready to learn and grow, but he does need a patient adopter who can offer positive reinforcement and a predictable routine. Bear enjoys being active, so an active home is essential. Daily walks and plenty of outdoor time are important for him, and a fenced yard would be a plus, though not absolutely necessary. He gets along well with dogs, and his gentle nature has been seen around children, as long as there’s structure and supervision. He has shown he likes cats, but he’ll benefit from help in understanding boundaries. Bear is not looking for perfection; he wants a committed home that sees his potential and is ready to invest time in his growth. If you think you can help Bear blossom into the amazing companion he can be, he can’t wait to meet you! This pup is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Ready to fall in love?
