About Bear
See Bear's Movie on YouTube https://youtu.be/XeaPxK-CBck
Ideal Owner
Bear is an affectionate, loyal and gentle young dog around people - full of potential. While he prefers company he can cope alone - so will be ok for full time workers.
Bear loves people so would be good with a family but as he is strong he needs a strong owner. As Bear has recently become unpredictable around other dogs he needs a home where someone can help with socialisation. Therefore, he will not suit a novice dog owner.
Bear needs to be involved with family activities.
He will not suit homes with residents who are very young, frail, elderly, renters, time poor or with another permanent dog.
Tolerance to Being Alone During the Day
Bear barks but can be commanded to stop. He will suit any of the following:
- active retirees,
- stay at home parent,
- part time workers,
- full time workers (9am-5pm) as long as he is a central focus when home.
Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Endearments and Quirks
Bear has lived well with 2 other dogs (male and female) for the past 1.5 years and only recently started to not get along with the other male. Hence, we recommend he is the only permanent dog in the home. But as he is only young we are confident Bear can learn some manners and become socialised.
Bear is a beautiful looking dog and is adorable with people. He has a cheeky personality too.

https://www.dogadoption.org.au/expression-of-interest---adoption.html

______________________________________
We strongly recommend you read the profile carefully where everything we know about the dog/s is outlined.
If you are interested in a dog we invite you to submit an application form so we can learn more about your circumstances. This is to ensure we match the right dog to the best home. (one form per family - not per dog) https://www.dogadoption.org.au/expression-of-interest---adoption.html
This is for the benefit of both the dog and the potential new owner(s). It also saves time and uses limited resources more effectively.
Once the essential criteria is confirmed we put you in touch with the carer for a more detailed chat with a view of meeting the dog(s).
If you decide to proceed with the adoption we make a time for a house check.
The adoption fee is then paid (there is a 2 week cooling off period.) Please note we offer a 2 week cooling off period but do not usually allow trials. See here for the difference https://www.dogadoption.org.au/can-my-dogs-new-owner-have-a-trial-period-before-deciding-to-adopt.html
Foster carers are also able to adopt foster dogs once approved.
