1 This is Bear. He’s a 10 lb rattie mix who has a big personality in a little body.
2 Bear loves to cuddle and snuggle in any cozy spot he can find.
3 He is a fairly zen boy and spends lots of time curled up, which gives foster mom time to work.
4 There is another side to Bear. He loves his daily leash walks in the neighborhood or on nearby trails.
5 Once outside, he’s alert to everything going on and loves to sniff and check things out. He pulls a bit on leash because his foster bro is a lot older and a little slower. Bear has the energy you’d expect from a young dog.

7 Bear enjoys being part of a pack. Even though his foster brother is a bit more pokey than Bear, Bear waits for him without any fuss.
8 Look at that cute face! Bear is very attentive to foster mom when she asks him to slow down or wait.

10 As nicely as Bear does with people, he is a little reactive when he sees other dogs, barking at them until they’ve passed by. One day on a walk a neighbor’s very large sheep dog got out and ran up to Bear. While the other dog was being friendly, Bear got so spooked at the huge pup barreling towards him that he now barks at every dog he sees. His adopter will need to work with him to help him understand he’s safe. Bear listens to his person and should be easily trainable with love and patience (and treats)!
11 Bear likes to run in the fenced yard. As he’s gotten more comfortable, his puppy nature has come out and he feels quite at home chasing the squirrels and checking out the fence line.
12 He’s ready to give chase the minute he sees anything, so he wouldn’t do well with cats. Bear is good at entertaining himself but would probably enjoy a companion to play with.
14 Once foster mom calls him in he comes to her right away.

16 After all that running around, Bear is completely quiet at home. He finds a spot to settle in and will stay there. He looks for a spot that’s close to where foster mom is, and if she stands up and moves he will follow her.
17 This is Bear curled up with his head on foster mom’s shoulder. He will stay like that until she gets up. Foster mom is home most of the time, and Bear would love a home where he’s not left alone for a long time.
18 Time for a treat! Foster mom came home! It’s time for dinner! Pet me!
19 Two hungry boys waiting for a snack. Bear respects his foster bro’s space and waits for treats to be offered to him.
Download MOV 20 Once it’s time for dinner Bear is READY! “Now, Mom!” He has a healthy appetite and is food motivated, which helps with training.
21 Bear and foster bro playing.
22 They are having a lot of fun together! When he first came into foster care, he didn’t pay much attention to his foster sibling, but now Bear seems to enjoy having a canine friend.
23 Bear is ready for his “furever” home! Is it with you?
