This 5½-year-old Great Dane has been patiently waiting for his forever home since November 2023. True to his breed’s nickname, Bear is the definition of a “gentle giant.” He’s calm, affectionate, and one of our volunteers’ favorite walking companions.
Here’s what one volunteer had to say:
“I just walked Bear today at the Humane Society! He’s the poster boy for the term ‘Gentle Giant.’ When I sat on the deck in the Sensory Garden, he hopped up beside me and leaned in for hugs – then nuzzled my head with his! He strolls past barking dogs without making a sound, just calmly taking in his surroundings. I know a dog his size needs the right setting, but I truly believe there’s a perfect home out there for him.”
Bear is dog-selective, so a meet-and-greet with any resident dogs will be required. If you think you might be the one to give this big sweetheart the furever home he deserves, come meet Bear – you won’t be disappointed.
