We are looking for a loving forever home for our German Shepherd/Husky mix, Bear. He is about 3 years old, full of energy, and so very affectionate. About Him: Great with kids ❤️ Has lived with another dog, but he is leash-reactive around unfamiliar dogs With cats: he sometimes barks at ours but has never been aggressive. High energy & would do best in a home with space to run or an owner who can give him daily walks and playtime. Loyal, goofy, and bonds deeply with his people Health Notes: We will update his vaccinations before rehoming so his new family wont have to worry about it Has some tummy sensitivities but does wonderfully with Purina FortiFlora probiotic (easy to buy in stores) He is neutered! Why We are Rehoming: This decision is not easy for us. We have a tiny backyard, and with a one-year-old daughter and newborn on the way, it has become very difficult for us to safely take him out on walks since he can be reactive on leash.
