Bernstein Bear

My story

NAME: Bernstein Bear SEX : male Color/Pattern: Tan black brown saddle agouti Breed: German and Belgian shepherd husky mix Weight: ~70lbs? Age at intake: 3yrs BDAY actual: Jan 16, 2022 Intake date : Jan 8, 2025 Found date: owner surrender Coat length: med Description Bernstein Bear is a submissive, sweet and easy going, tall, lanky German Shepherd mix. Personality Bernstein is handsome, slender and graceful. He can be shy and timid at first but he is just being cautious in new situations. He loves being outside and doesn't mind the cold, but also relishes some comfy bedding in his crate. Once he warms up, he becomes everyone's friend and shows how trusting his true personality is when he feels safe and secure. He is so good, well behaved, gentle, nice, and obedient. He likes to give hugs but knows not to jump up on you. He is tall so if he stands on his back legs you dont have to bend over much! Bernstein is great with other dogs and integrates smoothly into a household with other pets. Background Bear was scheduled to be dropped off at Houston's BARC kill shelter on Thursday, Jan 9 by his owner. His owner desperately did not want to take him there, so they reached out to GNAR for help. She had to move in with her brother that week, but he wouldn't allow her to bring Bear with her because he claimed he can’t be around dogs due to severe allergies. GNAR found a spot for him in a group foster home just in time. Bear made a huge splash on social media rallying to save him amongst social media German Shepherd rescue groups.
