UPDATE: I have been adopted and will be going to my very own forever home soon...Yay!!!  SSRR has a lot of other dogs that also need forever homes, like my friend JoJo. Please take a look at JoJo's profile by clicking on his picture and see if he may be right for you and you're family like I am for my new family.

Hello! My name is Bear, and my foster mom tells me that I am a very sweet, calm, gentle, affectionate boy. I'm not trying to brag or anything, but I have really good manners and no bad habits. When it's time for bed, I either sleep on my bed in the living room or in my crate in the bedroom. I am an excellent sleeper, too, never waking up my foster mom in the morning because I respect her beauty sleep. She has to wake me up to tell me it's time to go outside before I can have my breakfast. My foster mom has never had to close the door on the crate because I am so well behaved, even when left home alone!

I am such a good boy, I don't chew or steal things that don't belong to me, like the remote control. I also know I am not allowed on the furniture unless my person is sitting there and I want to come up to snuggle. But, I still only do this with two of my paws, so they won't think I'm being bad. If you get on the floor, that signals play time, and I will try to sit on you or playfully nip at your toes. I just love my humans and also love it when they play tug with me.

I also absolutely love going for walks. My foster mom says I'm a quick learner and have already learned to sit and wait politely at the door until I am released. I know not to pull on the leash, too. I do get a little excited when I encounter other dogs, but I just want to play, as it's a playful excitement.

When I'm at home, I also love to be outside and sun myself on the deck. Sometimes I get excited and will run zoomies around the yard. My foster mom thinks that's so funny. I am a good watchdog and will let you know if there is anything unusual that needs investigating.

I am an overall happy boy who will make someone a great pet. I like kids but think I would do best with kids over 12 because I'm such a big boy.
