My personality

My story

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

Thanks to a generous donor, my adoption fee has been reduced to $40

Bear previously lived outdoors. He lived with two other dogs, but can be selective, so a meeting between dogs prior to adoption is recommended. With a proper slow introduction he may do fine. He typically has done better with female dogs.

Bear previously lived with teenagers. A home with small children is not recommended due to his size.

Bear was protective of his yard and family and will bark to alert you of strangers and delivery drivers. He loves beggin strips, milkbones and squeaky toys.

He usually stayed in the yard. He occasionally would roam for a few hours, but would come back.
