Bear #4168

Hi there! I’m Bear (#4168), a big 9-month old Black Labrador Retriever-mix, and I’m ready to find my forever home! I am 78 pounds of pure puppy joy and have lots of love to give. I’ve got a huge heart, and I’m looking for a family who can keep up with my energy.

I love being around my people and I’m pretty friendly with everyone I meet! I might be a bit too big and playful for younger children since I’m a tall boy and may accidentally knock them over.

My foster family doesn’t have another dog, and they think I’d do really well with a sibling that has a similar energy level to keep up with me and someone I can learn from. I’m super curious and love to play, so I’d be thrilled to have a doggy buddy to share adventures with.

I’m still learning some stuff, like basic commands and recall (treats make it easier for me to learn!), but I already know “sit” and “paw” like a pro. I’m housetrained, but I might need a little more practice on not jumping up on people when I’m excited. Sometimes I get the zoomies if I get very excited or don’t get enough exercise (my foster home doesn’t have a big yard). I’m a big fan of walks and love getting outside, but since I’m still a puppy, my leash training skills will need a little help – I like to pull. I’m still learning recall and I’d be happiest in a home with a big fenced-in backyard where I can run and play to my heart’s content.

My foster parents think I am the biggest cuddliest sweetest boy. I’d be a great fit for an active family, maybe someone who works from home or has time to play with me during the day. If you’ve got a fenced yard, a doggy sibling, and a love for outdoor adventures, I’d love to join your family and be your loyal companion!
