Bear is an adventure-ready companion with a heart of gold. He loves to be out in nature, going for hikes, and trying to chase whatever critters cross his path. Whatever you choose for your day, he is there for it.  Take a look at this cute video of Bear  playing.

Bear loves his people and is excited for whatever the day has in store. Even if that is a walk followed by a day on the couch with a book. Snuggling and snoozing are also on his top ten list.

Bear kennels quickly and quietly, is never destructive, and is quick to pick up new cues. He is ironing out some puppy-esque tendencies and, for this reason, is not recommended for apartment life or a home with cats, critters, or small children. Bear will need a patient and consistent guardian to help him grow his worldly confidence and strengthen his social skillset.

There is so much Bear wants to do and experience. Are you the person who can help him shine?
