Kid Friendly: Bear lived with children prior to coming to us. There was never a problem until he and one of the little boys (3years old) collided when playing in the yard together. It's unclear whether Bears tooth accidentally snagged the boys face, or whether he bit him, but he came to us because of the incident.

Youngest: 10+ due to his size and as a precaution due to the incident at his previous home.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? He takes a small bit to get adjusted, then will be very loving. Occasionally will want to play with you. Also loves to find a place to curl up and sleep. Does love to stay in crate at times as well. Be prepared to get whipped by his tail as well, as he is a happy boy. Can be vocal when looking for attention, with small barks. He craves your attention. And again, very good on staying next to you when walking. He takes direction very well!
