Hi, my name’s Bear & I was surrendered with my siblings from a rural property to a local pound. Unfortunately, this meant the amount of human interaction I’d had was limited. Thankfully the rescue saw my potential and offered to take me in… & boy, what a transformation I’ve had!

Don't let the name fool you... I'm more teddy than grizzly! I'm Bear, a rather timid little fellow who's still learning that the big, wide world isn't quite as scary as it seems. You see, I'm a bit of a slow burner. I'm not the type to come bounding over for cuddles or throw myself into the arms of complete strangers. In fact, I'd much prefer to observe from a safe distance before deciding whether you're worthy of my trust. That said, there's a little teddy bear hiding beneath my cautious exterior, and I'm slowly beginning to emerge!

I've made progress during my time in foster care and now accept pats from my trusted humans. It's a promising start, but I'm still very much a work in progress. I'll need a patient, understanding adopter who appreciates that building trust takes time. Someone who won't rush me, overwhelm me or expect me to transform into a confident cuddle bug overnight. Because while I might not be ready to dish out great big bear hugs just yet, with continued love and reassurance, I'm hoping my confidence will continue to grow.

I'm not quite a cuddly teddy bear YET... but I'm hoping someone out there will see the potential beneath all this fluff! Could you be the one to help this little Bear come out of hibernation?

So now the important stuff. What sort of home will I suit? I can be wary of new people. It just takes me a bit of time to adjust to change. The good news? I have bucket loads of potential... I’m just looking for that special someone to share that with.Cats? I've previously bunked with another feline so may adjust to the company of another cat. Careful and considered introductions is the key to success! Dogs? Same deelio as cats. Children? I’m great with children, however would prefer a home without younger kidlets (ages 5+).
