Polar Bear is a German Shepherd Dog mix just over 6 years old and 110 pounds. This well-loved, big-hearted gentleman has earned a special place with volunteers thanks to his calm nature and sweet personality.
Beautiful leash manners: Despite his impressive size, Polar Bear walks with amazing leash manners, making him a wonderful walking companion.
Joyful spirit: When he sees the leash come out, he celebrates with an adorable happy-feet dance and head bob, clearly excited for his outing.
Growing confidence: Polar Bear has gradually overcome some of his shyness, offering more loving eye contact and sometimes gently nudging your hand to ask for pets.
Gentle treat taker: He accepts politely and seems to have refined taste—chicken sausage and meatballs are particular favorites.
Polar Bear would well with appropriately matched dog companions or as a solo dog with dog friends.
