About Bear

A Gentle Giant with a Big Heart

Bear is a young Great Pyrenees who has been deeply loved and cared for since he was a puppy. He is a big, gentle boy with the sweetest heart you'll ever meet — with a hyper, high-energy personality to match. He loves being around his people, playing, exploring, and being included in whatever is going on. As he has grown, it has become clear that he needs more space and an environment better suited to his size, energy, and Great Pyrenees instincts. Bear deserves a home where he can safely burn off his energy, continue learning, and be loved for exactly who he is. Our hope is to find Bear a family where he can truly thrive and, with his gentle nature, potentially bring comfort and joy to others as a service or therapy dog someday.
