Bear Bryant's Story

Dog Name: Bear Bryant<br/><br/>Breed: mixed<br/><br/>Sex: male (neutered)<br/><br/>Age: ~4 years<br/><br/>Weight: ~60 pounds<br/><br/>Medical Needs: None.<br/><br/>Housebroken: Yes.<br/><br/>Crate Trained: Yes.<br/><br/>Good in the Car: Yes.<br/><br/>Good on a Leash: As long as you use a prong collar, he is fantastic on a leash. He will need some solid, consistent training to be able to walk nicely without a prong collar. He is incredibly strong, and without a prong collar, he pulls very hard.<br/><br/>Energy Level: High!<br/><br/>Need a Fenced-in Yard: NO. He needs to be leashed (and held) or tethered to a ground tie (while supervised) at all times. Bear will NOT be adopted out to anyone with a fenced-in yard. He can jump and climb any fence, and we will not risk him escaping, as it could be very dangerous for him.<br/><br/>Dog Friendly: Yes.<br/><br/>If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home? No.<br/><br/>Cat Friendly: He ignores outdoor cats. He tries to play a little too aggressively with indoor cats, so please no kitty friends for Bear.<br/><br/>Kid Friendly: Yes.<br/><br/>If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? 10 years and older with proper supervision. Bear loves children. He lived with two in his previous foster home. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is, however, 100% muscle, incredibly strong, very high energy, and has the jumping ability of a frog. He could easily knock over smaller, less stable kids.<br/><br/>Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Bear Bryant needs a very active family/person that is committed to working on his training. He is very smart, albeit stubborn at times. He would be an amazing hiking and camping partner since he is go go go, everything-friendly, and just wants to be with you all the time. He is super sweet and loves kids and other dogs, but doesn't need either in the home to thrive. He is crate-trained, but can get antsy when he needs exercise. He needs at least two walks and another outdoor play and/or training session every day. Outside, he needs to be leashed (and held) or tethered to a ground tie (while supervised) at all times. He will NOT be adopted out to anyone with a fenced-in yard. He can jump and climb any fence, and we will not risk him escaping, as it could be very dangerous for him.<br/><br/>Foster's Location: Dover, DE<br/><br/>Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (If you already have an approved application on file, email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com, and ask the app team to pull your app.)
