Bear

Bear came to us from a home in Eastern Washington in 2023. He’s been in his foster home for a while now and still looking for his forever home. We learned quickly that he’s aptly named – he’s a big guy – but Bear is only part of his name, because the first part has to be “Teddy.” He’s 8 years old and weighed in at 125 pounds when we had him to the vet to update his vaccines. He’s a total love with people of all ages, including a good boy at the vet! <br/><br/>We were told Bear was good with other dogs, including little dogs (was raised with a small breed dog), but has never been around cats. We've found out though, that Bear was very reactive when meeting other dogs - barking and lunging in a threatening manner. His amazing foster has been working with him on this and he does really well with other dogs now. He gets along with his foster sister and brother (a Rottweiler and a Chihuahua) and regular sleepover guests. He would be fine as an only dog, but with good introductions, could live with another dog happily. NO CATS for Bear, and no kids under 10 years old.<br/><br/>He has good manners in the house (although he’s a dedicated counter surfer – still working on this!) and is eager to please. He’s crate trained and house trained as well. As mentioned, Bear had some leash reactivity to work through, but he's a smart guy and just needs someone to help him get over his excitement. He knows the basics now and is better about learning to interact with other dogs respectfully. He gets excited and is very strong, but he’s very food motivated and consistency in training always works with him. Bear loves to give high-fives and is just a happy boy. Watching him rolling in the grass with all four paws in the air is as adorable as it sounds. <br/><br/>Bear is ready for his forever home! Rottweiler experience would be ideal.
