About Bear
I'm the beautiful Bear and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.
I am a very handsome boy. Whilst I look like a retriever/wolfhound I actually don't have either of those breeds in me. My previous owner got me DNA tested and it came back that I was a German Shep x Am Staff x Cattle dog x Rotti x Border Terrier. A real Heinz variety :) you can see my results in the photo section.
What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach & playtime in the backyard
• I LOVE going for walks and am an angel on the lead
• To be allowed inside with my family and have free access inside and outside, I do get stressed when locked outside by myself but am the perfect house dog.
• As I am super duper people orientated and thrive on human companionship I will require a family who has a lot of time for me, who is home a lot and who will include me in as many daily activities as possible.
• I have no interest in other dogs and will ignore & try to avoid them if they approach me. If they are in my face I will tolerate it for so long and then growl. I have previously lived with another dog who I absolutely loved however I have no desire to be around other dogs and would much rather be the only doggo.
• A cat may be ok with a slow introduction (I have previously lived with a cat)
• Secure Fencing
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• Happy to live with children
• Having a thick lushes coat I do shed a lot so will require a good brush every couple of days.
• I am very special to the staff here at the shelter so a home who will send the staff lots of updates or better still an Instagram account of my very own is a must so that they can continue to see me being loved and living my best life <3
Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Other dogs
My best features:
• The staff have told me that I am the most perfect boy in the whole wide world
• I LOVE LOVE LOVE people
• I am the biggest snuggle bug
• I am Housetrained
• Whilst I love going out and about I also love the couch potato life and chilling with my humans
• I walk like a gem on the lead but do tire quickly so walks must be kept short & sweet until I build up my stamina
• I am responsive to my name
• I have such a Gentle & placid nature
• I go to my bed when told
• I am very well mannered
• I can sit, shake hands & laydown/drop
• I love kids
• I love toys & playing ball
• I am crate trained
• I LOVE going on car rides
• I love attention and spending time with my people
Where I need to improve / Training required
• I do show signs of being stressed when locked outside on my own - I will require a home with free access to both inside and outside. I am the perfect inside dog!!
• I can sometimes startle around loud noises and sudden movements. I also get frightened with thunder & fireworks and can get a little stressy when first in unfamiliar environments - people are my biggest comfort so lots of positive reinforcement & reassurance is a must.
• My previous owner said that I can be vocal when I here surrounding noises especially if I am outside during the night. As mentioned previously a home where I am mainly inside and an owner who is home a lot and has a lot of time for & with me is a MUST!
