Bear's Story

Bear is a handsome shepherd with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. He is the kind of dog who loves having a job to do, an adventure to go on, or a favorite person to hang out with. He is affectionate, loves giving kisses, and has a sweet side that comes out when he's spending time with his people.<br/><br/>Bear is a big fan of fetch and tug, so he's always ready for a game. He walks well on a leash and enjoys getting out and exploring with his people. Like many enthusiastic shepherds, he can get a little jumpy when he's excited and can be vocal at times. Continued training and giving him appropriate outlets for his energy will help him be the best version of himself.<br/><br/>Bear can do well with other dogs when given proper introductions. He will need a family who understands that dogs don't always become best friends immediately and is willing to give him the time and structure needed to build positive relationships.<br/><br/>Because Bear is a shepherd with the energy, intelligence, and instincts that come with the breed, he would do best with someone who has experience with working breeds. He will thrive with a family that understands the importance of mental stimulation, physical exercise, structure, and continued training.<br/><br/>Underneath that shepherd exterior is a gentle boy who loves to play, loves his people, and isn't afraid to show his affection with a few kisses. Bear is ready for a family who understands him, keeps his mind and body busy, and gives him the opportunity to be the amazing companion he can be.
