About Bear

$50 adoption fee! Bear was a little scared when we first met, but took about 2 seconds to make friends with me. He just needs the ok from people he trusts before new people touch him. You know when you are in his circle of trust when he starts kissing you. He was very excited when it was his turn to be in the house and was a super cuddler all night. He definitely loves his people! He is excited to be on a leash, but needs more training. I'm sure he would be a great hiking dog. He definitely likes to play and wrestle with other dogs. Bear does fine with my alpha female, but I think he'd prefer to be the alpha male if his fur siblings are male. This dog is located in Selah, WA. PetFinder allows multiple postings of the same animal as long as the postings are 100 miles apart from each other. This way we can reach far and wide to find the perfect home for this dog. If driving to Selah is difficult for you, we will do our best to find a rescue partner to meet you halfway.
