Kid Friendly: LOVES kids but doesn't know his strength and will love on them at times too much

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Bear can get excited at times and use the house as a track to run so young kids who are steady on their feet and can give bear space when he needs to get his zoomies out.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Bear has never met a stranger a day in his life, to him strangers are just best friends he hasn't met yet. Bear is a big goofy toddler that doesn't know he's not a puppy and nothing you say will convince him otherwise. He has a ton of love to give and will keep you laughing with how goofy he is. Outside is where bear loves to spend most of his time, running zoomies, chasing toys, rolling in the grass, and going for walks (he will never turn down a walk) but you can also catch him curled up next to you on the couch for an afternoon nap when he comes back inside.

Bear CANNOT have a fenced in yard or at least cannot be off leash in a fenced in yard or area. Bear is a mastermind when it comes to climbing fences, at the shelter he was known to climb any and all the fences they tried to contain him in. The workers said no fence no matter the material or height could contain him he would climb them all and be over them in seconds. To keep bear safe he would need to still be leashed or on a longer tie out where he couldn't get to the fence but had room to run if you did have a fenced in yard. It is super important this rule is followed to keep bear safe if this is not something you can follow bear is not the dog for you. We will not risk bear getting lost or injured.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
