Weighing 47 pounds, Little Bear may be a senior, but his playful, curious nature makes him feel like a puppy at heart.

Although a bit anxious, his loving personality shines through, making him a true cuddle bug who enjoys quiet moments of companionship.

Little Bear enjoys slow walks where he can take his time exploring and savoring the sights and smells of the outdoors. His gentle pace is perfect for leisurely strolls and spending quality time together.
Little Bear’s ideal home is one filled with love, patience, and plenty of cuddles. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate companion to share your days with, Little Bear is ready to bring warmth and joy into your life.
