He's one of three young puppies in the new Theo litter. He and his sisters look to be Collie mixes, guessing about 4 months old. They've been living in their foster home for a few weeks now, so we don't know a lot about them yet, but so far they seem to be your typical playful puppies! They are all very friendly and have liked everyone they've met so far, while living in a relatively quiet neighborhood and a low-traffic home. The Theo pups like playing with each other and other dogs, and they've been curious and respectful with the cats they've encountered so far. They've been spending their days playing with each other in the yard, chewing on some squeaky toys, and cuddling after a full day of fun. Bear is your classic happy, goofy puppy. He's affectionate and likes to meet new people - he'll probably jump up to say hi when he meets you! He's an excited young dog and still working on some of his manners, housetraining, and leash walking. He does great in his crate and has been staying in it, calm and quiet, for about six hours a day. So far, he seems to be very obedient and we think that with the right training, he'll pick up these other skills in no time. Bear should be in a household that has the time and energy to dedicate to the training a young puppy needs to thrive. He is slightly more low-key than his siblings, but still should have about 1-2 hours a day of exercise. A puppy training class would also be great for Bear and his new human(s) to learn some training techniques together. Bear is a fun-loving, adorable puppy and is ready to find his fur-ever home! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
