Bear

My story

Meet Bear, the ultimate Velcro dog with a heart as big as his name. Bear is part of a bonded pair with his best girl, Honey, and the two must be adopted together. They came to us through an owner surrender and are ready to find their new forever home. Bear is an easygoing, happy guy who thrives on being close to his humans. He’s house trained, leash trained, doggie-door savvy, and rides well in the car, though he would much prefer to be in your lap. At night, Bear and Honey curl up together on the couch, using their ramp like pros, and Bear will happily make sure you’re up and ready to start the day by 6 a.m. Bear does have leash reactivity that will require ongoing training and management. He can have strong reactions to other dogs while on leash, so his adopter must be committed to working with him to help him feel more confident and improve his behavior over time. He doesn’t have much interest in toys but will occasionally join Honey for a bit of play. His true joy comes from companionship, affection, and feeling included in whatever you’re doing. Bear can be a little jealous when Honey gets attention—he loves being the center of your world—but it’s all part of his affectionate, devoted personality. Bear and Honey are looking for a home where they can be the only dogs and where there are no children, allowing them the calm and consistency they need to feel secure. Their ideal home is with someone who is around more often than not and ready to give them the time, attention, and guidance they need.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Bear, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
