Meet Bear, a 7-year-old Lab mix with an 85-pound frame and an even bigger heart. Bear is fully house-trained and crate-trained, often heading to his crate on his own when he wants to rest. However, he’s such a good boy that he can be trusted to roam freely around the house. Whether it’s snuggling in bed with you or finding his own cozy spot, Bear loves being close to his humans.
Don’t let his age fool you—Bear has plenty of energy! He enjoys two walks a day, each around half a mile to a mile long. With his stamina and playful nature, he thrives on exercise and would be thrilled to have a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and play. Bear doesn’t know a stranger. He gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and people of all ages. His enthusiasm for making new friends is so strong that he might just pull you over to say hello. Whether it’s a furry friend or a new human, Bear is always eager to make a connection. This is another reason that fence will come in handy. Bear is strong and would likely break a tie-out if he really wanted to go say hello and make new friends.
This smart pup knows all the basic commands like sit, stay, down, and heel. He walks nicely on a leash, staying to his person’s right side, and even sits patiently at crosswalks—though he might need a reminder if another dog catches his eye. At home, Bear is pretty chill. He enjoys lounging around, following his person from room to room, and chewing on hard bones (soft toys don’t stand a chance!). His friendly, outgoing, and happy nature makes him a joy to have around.
His ideal family will appreciate his energetic spirit, enjoy his playful antics, and love his affectionate nature. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and fun companion, Bear is your guy. Adopt Bear and discover just how wonderful life can be with a furry best friend by your side! His minimum adoption fee is $95 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.
He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
