I'm Bear, or Little Bear, as my foster family likes to call me. I previously lived in Illinois with my dad and then moved to Wisconsin. A couple months ago my dad had to go into assisted living so I was placed in foster care. It was a tough decision for my dad, but he could no longer take care of me. While I might have come from the Bears' state, I can easily be swayed to follow the Green and Gold of Wisconsin! My foster mom says I have been quite shy and I have attached myself to her and my human foster sister. I love to be where they are as it makes me feel safe. It took a few days for me to settle in and feel comfortable enough to eat. I have been really good in the house as I have not had any accidents. I was never in a crate and always slept with my dad so my foster mama helped with the transition by allowing me to sleep with her at night and she says I am a champ. I love to burrow myself in the covers and prefer to sleep to the right of her. I sleep well all night long. During the day, my foster mom wasn't sure how I would be in the house so I have been learning to crate. I find it to be a safe place and sometimes snuggle up with my blanket and new pet bed even during the day. I am quite picky when it comes to eating so my foster mom kept me on FreshPet since I had gotten used to that. I am typically quiet, but am beginning to find my voice. Speaking of voice, when my foster sister sings I like to be the back-up music. Maybe someday we can do a duet together?. I am starting to be a little more active. I will spin in circles when I am excited and sometimes chase my tail. I get along with other dogs (big and small) and cats, however if they are in my face I will let them know I do not like it. My favorite place to be is with my foster mom or my human foster sister who is 8. I love to snuggle and be held, in fact I like it so much that my favorite place to be is on a lap. I also love to go for walks and do well on a leash. While my foster mom says I am a good boy, I have had no previous training so I am learning to sit and come when called. She feels I would do best in a quiet or lower key home that has a fenced in yard (I can be flight risk at first as transitions scare me) or where my humans will take me for regular walks. Car rides make me nervous but I am getting better at them. I am used to going to a groomer every 6-8 weeks. I do great for the groomer and I am a champ when it comes to clipping my nails. While I do well with kids, I think I would prefer kids that are a little bit older (6+). I would be fine with another dog/cat or as an only pet. If you are willing to give me the time I need to feel at home and could be my perfect forever family, fill out an application today! I can't wait to watch those Packer games with you!
