About Bear

��%8Fӕ�%8F Meet Bear - A Malamute-Type Gentle Giant Seeking His Mountain Home Location: California (transport assistance possible to NV / Tahoe / Truckee) Status: Fostered | Shelter stray (unclaimed after hold) Bear is a 90-lb Alaskan Malamute-type dog with a calm presence, soulful eyes, and the kind of steady energy that feels most at home in wide-open spaces. After being found as a stray and remaining unclaimed following his shelter hold, Bear is now in foster care while we look for the right long-term match - ideally someone who understands and appreciates northern working breeds. ��%90� About Bear Bear is intelligent, observant, and thoughtful. He enjoys structure and routine and can be wonderfully calm when his environment is predictable. Like many Malamute-type dogs, he is an independent thinker and responds best to quiet, confident leadership rather than constant correction. �'ۢ Affectionate and grounded with his people �'ۢ Trainable and eager to engage when given clarity �'ۢ Some reactivity on walks and with certain triggers, likely from past instability �'ۢ Benefits from continued training and consistent handling Bear isn't a 'go everywhere, greet everyone' dog - he's more of a loyal companion for someone who values partnership and purpose. ��%8Fӕ�%8F The Home He's Hoping For Bear would truly shine in: �'ۢ A cooler or cold-weather climate �'ۢ A mountain, high-desert, or rural setting �'ۢ A home with land or a securely fenced yard �'ۢ An adopter with experience with large dogs or northern breeds, or a sincere commitment to learning �'ۢ A lifestyle that values routine, structure, and time outdoors The Central Valley heat and density are not ideal for Bear long-term, which is why we are focusing on mountain and northern placements where dogs like him thrive. ��%90%BE Other Animals Bear's compatibility with other dogs has not been fully evaluated. He may do best as an only dog, or possibly with another calm, compatible large dog following thoughtful introductions. Due to his size and natural prey drive, a home without cats or small animals is recommended. �٩� Medical Notes Bear's neuter status is currently being confirmed with the shelter. He may be intact or cryptorchid (undescended testicle). All medical information will be shared transparently and addressed as needed. ��s� Transport Transport assistance may be available for the right adopter, especially toward Nevada, Tahoe, or Truckee. �%9D%A4��%8F A Thoughtful Placement Bear is a wonderful dog who deserves a home that aligns with who he is - not just a place to land, but a place to belong. We are committed to finding him a stable, experienced, and loving home where he can relax, settle in, and truly be himself.
