Bear

Bear is the newest addition to our PAWS family. While he’s still getting to know us and settling into his new routine, he’s already fitting in wonderfully. One thing we’ve learned very quickly? Bear absolutely loves love! He’s a big cuddle bug who is happiest when he’s getting attention and spending time with his people.

Bear is still learning the proper ways to ask for attention and can get a little jumpy when he’s excited, but he’s picking up new skills quickly. He has already mastered "sit" and working hard on the rest of his manners. He’s a smart boy who seems eager to learn and please.

Bear previously lived in a home with a young toddler and reportedly did very well with children. As with any dog, we always recommend teaching children how to interact respectfully with dogs and supervising their interactions to help everyone have a safe and positive relationship.

Bear has reportedly done well with other dogs, and so far, we haven’t seen anything that would make us question that. He’s curious and interested when he sees the other dogs here at PAWS, although we haven’t introduced him to any play sessions just yet. We’re looking forward to learning more about his social skills as he settles in.

Bear has never been around cats. Because of this, any introduction to cats would need to be slow, thoughtful, and patient. We’re happy to provide resources to help his future family learn the best way to make those introductions successful.

Bear is still very new to us, but he’s already showing us what a sweet, affectionate, and eager-to-learn guy he can be. We can’t wait to see what else we discover about this lovable boy as he continues settling in!
