Meet Bear, a truly special shepherd–labrador mix whose striking eyes—one blue, one brown—stop people in their tracks and whose gentle soul makes them stay. Bear has been at Yaqui Ranch since 2019, patiently waiting for the family who will finally call him home.
At about 8 years old, Bear is the perfect balance of calm and playful. He has medium energy, enjoys companionship, and loves being part of a family environment. He is sweet, highly intelligent, and wonderful with kids, making him an excellent family dog.
Bear is selective with other dogs and does best with female dogs, so a thoughtful introduction or being the only dog could be ideal for him. What he truly wants is stability, affection, and a person or family who will see past the years he’s waited and focus on the love he has to give.
Bear isn’t just a handsome face—he’s loyal, gentle, and deeply deserving of a forever home. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a calm presence, a smart mind, and eyes you’ll never forget, Bear may be the one you’ve been waiting for.
