Bear

Good with: Small and medium dogsNot good with: Some fear of larger dogsHouse trained: YesEnergy level: LowNoise level: Some Hey there I'm Bear and I'm on a mission to find my perfect forever home. Let me tell you a bit about myself. First off I'm a big fan of my person or people. I love staying close to them showering them with kisses and soaking up all the belly rubs I can get. Home is where my heart is quite literally as I'm happiest when I'm indoors cozying up in my bed or snuggling in someone's lap. I recently finished heartworm treatment and did great throughout the treatment process. The doctor said I should have a full recovery and have a happy life thanks to a successful treatment plan. I won't have any special medical needs long term, other than continuing regular monthly heartworm preventatives to avoid reinfection, and can live a normal life. I've been resting and recovering well with my foster, and now I'm ready for my forever home! Luckily when it comes to activities I'm not too high maintenance. I enjoy short walks where I can explore independently but I'll also race down the hallway at lightning speed when the mood strikes. Playing with my favorite toys is always a blast and I have a particular penchant for socks and small articles of clothing. I like to collect them in one spot sometimes hiding them under couch pillows for safekeeping. But dont worry I wont actually damage them! Now onto my dislikes. I'm not a fan of being left alone but don't worry I'm not destructive. I might bark a bit to let you know I'm not happy about it though. Car rides also make me a bit queasy, especially the long ones. And let's talk about big dogs - they make me a tad nervous so I'll try to avoid them if I can. In terms of training, I'm still a work in progress. I'm dealing with some separation anxiety and I'm a bit shy around new people. But with a patient and loving family, I know I can overcome these challenges. I get along well with small dogs and I'm okay with calm medium-sized ones too. Overall I'm a playful affectionate and gentle guy with a touch of goofiness. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin I'm your Bear.
