Love Bear is a 3 year old Shepard mix. He was abandoned by his previous owner and is still a little confused on where his landing will be. In the time he has lived with us in our farm- he has been an absolute delight . He is a gentlemen to any and all dogs and cats he has met.  If you have a ball of any kind- you will be his best friend. I have learned they are his security blanket so he has many of them! He is hesitant with men, a secret of of his we just don’t know about so time patience and space and he will eventually warm up and learn to trust. 

Bear is a perfect dog inside - he does not shed, he does not potty and is very good at finding you to go out when he needs. He doesn’t jump or get in your personal space. If you’re willing to let him in your bed, he will lay at the foot and not move all night but move when asked.   He loves to ride in the car and go new places but is still learning to walk gently on the leash so he doesn’t overpower his walker.  

Bear is such a handsome boy with so much potential and he will make such a wonderful addition to any home!
