Hey, there! Justin Bieber here (but my Foster Mom calls me Bear). My friends here tell me I am probably something called a “livestock guardian breed mix dog”. I think that I’m a super handsome, happy and sweet dude - once I know that I can trust you because you are a reliable-type of human who knows how to talk with dogs. I love other animals of all shapes and sizes, including the cats, small & large dogs, and even the free range chickens.
Sometimes it’s hard for me to warm up to strangers - especially men. I am suspicious of strangers but I love the people that I know are my friends and family. Despite taking longer to trust new men who are strangers, I see familiar men as people to take guidance from and listen to.
I would love to have one or two dog siblings. I’m good with most dogs because I like running and playing. I’m also happy to lounge around in the yard or field to sunbathe or alert you to strangers who might approach. I have a big bark. I get along with new dogs quickly and easily, as long as they are not confrontational with me right off the bat. I just want to be friends and never try to pick a fight. I don’t like to meet dogs on a leash though. The perfect home for me would have a bit of property for me to patrol, or even some animal friends to keep watch of. Walks in the neighborhood are not fun for me. I am a homebody and am content without going out on adventures. Who’s going to watch the yard if I leave it unprotected?
My foster mom says I act like a “typical guardian breed” and I work as a team with my foster dog sister, who is a great pyrenees. One time we chased away and yelled at a hawk who wanted one of our chicken friends for dinner.
I’m good with dogs, cats and chickens. But no human children, please, I find them kind of scary. I love my crate (it's so cozy and feels safe to me) and I especially love when I have a bone in there too. I am potty trained and don’t have accidents inside or in my crate. I much prefer to be outside in the grass for that.
I’m happy here in my foster home and have friends and we love each other easily. I wish I could stay here forever, but they say there's a perfect forever home for me out there, and that I'll be happy there. I'm excited to have new dog friends and a big yard or some new animals to help protect.
