My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bear, a sweet and gentle soul who has been through a lot but is now ready to embrace his new life with a little more joy and confidence. Originally adopted in 2023, Bear’s journey took a surprising turn when he was recently found as a stray. Despite the challenges he’s faced, Bear remains calm, resilient, and eager to find his place in the world.

In his kennel, Bear is a model of tranquility. He’s the kind of dog who enjoys his quiet moments, content to curl up and relax without making much noise or fuss. His calm demeanor makes him a great companion for anyone looking for a laid-back, peaceful dog.

Treats? Bear is all about them! He’s a big fan of tasty snacks and is quick to show his appreciation with his gentle, sweet nature. His love for treats is also helping him adjust and learn new things—he’s motivated and eager to please, which makes training sessions a lot of fun.

While Bear is still learning how to interact and play with other dogs, he’s making great strides. His playful side is slowly emerging, and with a little patience and encouragement, Bear is becoming more comfortable in social situations. He may need some time to get fully comfortable with new dog friends, but he’s showing promise and is open to making new canine companions.

Bear is a quiet, kind, and loving dog who deserves a forever home where he can continue to heal, grow, and share his gentle spirit. If you’re looking for a calm, treat-loving buddy who’s slowly discovering the joy of playtime and companionship, Bear could be the perfect addition to your family.
