Attention: This is a courtesy posting only! This pet is NOT available through Mountain Pet Rescue. Please do NOT contact MPR for information about the pet or apply to adopt this pet on the MPR website. Contact [email protected] for more information or to adopt the pet.The Pitch: Meet Bear - part athlete, part class clown and 100%% ready to make someone's life more fun. If fetch were an Olympic sport, he'd be bringing home gold. He's got the kind of energy that makes you want to lace up your running shoes, and the kind of face that makes you forgive him for it every time.The Resume: Bear's a quick study - sit, stay, down, leave it, drop it and shake with either paw (yes, he's bilingual in handshakes). He's treat-motivated to the point of comedy, which makes training him less like work and more like a magic trick. He's a hit at doggy daycare, where he plays hard with other dogs and comes home happily exhausted.The Honest Part: Bear loves people - adults especially - but he struggles around young children. He gets overstimulated and has a hard time regulating himself, which has led to a couple of incidents directed at a child in his home. Our behaviorist has been clear that this isn't a training issue we expect to resolve, which is why we're looking for a home without young children.His Perfect Match: An active adult or family with kids 12+, someone who wants a running or hiking partner, has experience with a strong, energetic dog, and can give him the structure and exercise he thrives on. He would absolutely LOVE to have a dog friend. Bear isn't a dog with a lot of problems - he's a dog in the wrong situation. Give him the right one, and we think he'll shine.Contact [email protected] today to meet or learn more about Bear!
