Bear's Story

Hi, I’m Bear 🐻<br/> 55–60 lbs of shepherd-mix charm, emotional availability, and excellent leash manners.<br/>I’ve been crashing at my foster place for about a week, and let’s just say… I’ve made an impression. I’m the kind of guy who slides effortlessly into home life — house trained, crate trained, sleeps and eats like a gentleman. I walk nicely on a leash (no chaotic pulling here), know how to sit, and I’m actively working on leveling up my skills. Growth mindset.<br/>Personality-wise? Think fun but stable. I enjoy a good tug session, a quality Nylabone chew, and then I’m absolutely down to cuddle. I give hugs — by invitation only — because consent is awesome. My energy is perfectly balanced: happy to go on daily walks, playful when it’s time, and totally content to chill afterward.<br/>I’m social without being messy. I get along with dogs and cats, and I’d probably thrive with respectful teenagers who want a loyal sidekick. Toddlers aren’t really my vibe, but give me a fenced yard, a dog buddy (optional), or just a human who wants a solid companion, and I’m in.<br/>If you’re looking for a dependable, affectionate, low-drama partner who will hype you up on walks and snuggle you on the couch…<br/> Swipe right. I’m Bear. 🐾🔥
