Bear

*YOU MUST COMPLETE AN APPLICATION AT WWW.ALL4PAWSDOGRESCUE.COM.AU *

This handsome boy is looking for the perfect fit in life. Don't under estimate this boy by his beauty and fluffy personality.

This Maremma is loving and devoted to his owners and super affectionate, but he also requires someone who understands the breed personality traits, somebody that will give him structure and boundaries in his life.

Bear is most happiest out on his daily walks and would make the perfect hiking companion for an active person who loves hitting the trails, he may also enjoy events like bikejoring or canicross. The Maremma is a moderate energy level dog and bear loves nothing more than a 2hr plus walk each day to explore the world and burn off some steam.

He has shown positive playful behaviour with other dogs that he has met in foster care, and enjoys a good game of catch me if you can with the dogs. He Is currently living with 3-4 other medium/large size dogs and is happy, so he can be re-homed with or without other dogs is fine. 

He will require full obedience training and has started training in care but this is something his new home will be prepared to continue whether you sign up for dog obedience classes or train him yourself at home.

Sort of home we are looking for includes:

-Somebody who lives on acreage or property of a sorts, Bear is glowing with happiness getting out of town and currently living semi rural on property and we don't think he is suited for city/ suburbia living.
-Prefer no kids, Bear has history of guarding his owners if they do not take charge and leadership of the pack. Though if you have extensive knowledge of the breed and have owned in the past we will be happy to consider home with children.
-He has met sheep, Showed curiosity and playful behaviour towards them, would walk up to the sheep and play bow at them and run with them if they ran away.
-Playful with other dogs but can get nippy when trying to engage the other dog to play
-Does not share his food with other dogs, so feeding separate will be required or training
-Has met cats, is curious, and tries to rough play with them
-Thrives with human interactions and would best suit someone who works from home/ works short hours/ home more than not
-Will require some patients to settle into a new home, get familiar with a new environment, and settle with a new family.
-Super affectionate and cuddly but does have some sensitivity being touched in certain places which may ease over time and as he grows comfortable
