Bear Bryant's Story

Dog name: Bear Bryant<br/><br/>Breed: Mixed breed<br/><br/>Sex: Male<br/><br/>Age:4<br/><br/>Weight: 50ish pounds<br/><br/>Medical Needs: none<br/><br/>Housebroken: Yes as long as he sticks to a schedule.<br/><br/>Crate trained: Yes sleeps in his crate all night and while we are gone with no issues<br/><br/>Good in the car: loves car rides. As long as he's tied down he will lay right down and take a nap or stare out the window.<br/><br/>Good on a leash: Walks great on a leash as long as he has a prong collar on.<br/><br/>Energy level: Medium- High<br/><br/>Need a fenced in yard: No, bear actually cannot have a fenced in yard (will explain more below)<br/><br/>Dog Friendly: LOVES other dogs<br/><br/>If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? While he would love a bestie to live with it's not a must.<br/><br/>Cat Friendly? Tries to chase our outside cat to play with her<br/><br/>Kid Friendly: LOVES kids but doesn't know his strength and will love on them at times too much<br/><br/>If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Bear can get excited at times and use the house as a track to run so young kids who are steady on their feet and can give bear space when he needs to get his zoomies out.<br/><br/>Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?<br/><br/>Bear has never met a stranger a day in his life, to him strangers are just best friends he hasn't met yet. Bear is a big goofy toddler that doesn't know he's not a puppy and nothing you say will convince him otherwise. He has a ton of love to give and will keep you laughing with how goofy he is. Outside is where bear loves to spend most of his time, running zoomies, chasing toys, rolling in the grass, and going for walks (he will never turn down a walk) but you can also catch him curled up next to you on the couch for an afternoon nap when he comes back inside.<br/><br/>Bear CANNOT have a fenced in yard or at least cannot be off leash in a fenced in yard or area. Bear is a mastermind when it comes to climbing fences, at the shelter he was known to climb any and all the fences they tried to contain him in. The workers said no fence no matter the material or height could contain him he would climb them all and be over them in seconds. To keep bear safe he would need to still be leashed or on a longer tie out where he couldn't get to the fence but had room to run if you did have a fenced in yard. It is super important this rule is followed to keep bear safe if this is not something you can follow bear is not the dog for you. We will not risk bear getting lost or injured.<br/><br/>Fosters Location: Felton, 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
