About Bear

Want to cuddle with a Bear? Our Bear is super snuggly. At about 4 years old and fully grown at 64 lbs, he's a gentle giant who can sometimes act like a big baby. While he might show some nervousness when meeting new people, he warms up quickly once he senses kindness. Bear would thrive with someone who can take their time with him. Due to his shyness, supervision is recommended around young kids under 8. Bear was a stray-transfer from another shelter, so his past is a mystery, but he's just looking for love in a big, scary world. When he's comfortable, he enjoys leaning into his favorite people and sneaking in kisses. He’s in search of a calm home and a patient adopter who can help build his confidence. If you think you can offer Bear the love he deserves, visit him today! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
