We’ve had a lot of dogs named Bear pass through our shelter- regular Bears, Blue Bears, Grizzlies, Pandas, even a Sun Bear- you name the bear, they’ve all been here. But, this Bear might just be the most bear-looking bear we’ve ever had. Is it a dog? Is it a bear? From a distance, frankly, it’s hard to say. This handsome ursine sir promises he’s a dog though, so we’ve taken his word for it.

Bear is a fairly mellow kind of fella- he’s a senior who is just looking for a retirement home where he can forage around the yard and hibernate as needed. He’s a favorite of many volunteers and is an absolute joy to spend time with. Bear has shared his kennel with many different furry friends during his time at PACC and was social, tolerant, and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Bear is looking for a home without small dogs and one where he’ll be kept safe and sound at home with his family- this Bear has had enough seasonal migration for a lifetime and wants to settle down for good. He’d also prefer a home without young kiddos.

Here is what we learned about Bear during a brief stay in a foster home:

- He did well with an older child (13 years)
- He loves to find sunny spots around the house to nap in
- He’s housebroken
- He likes to chew on toys
- He’s great on leash
- He enjoys belly rubs and was described as a sweet and gentle good boy
