A little about me...
Bear is a four-year-old pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Originally from the snowy mountains of Park City, Utah, Bear now lives in the beautiful, laid-back town of Mill Valley, California. He has adjusted to coastal life with ease but still carries the bold, adventurous spirit of his mountain roots. Smart as a whip and full of charm, Bear has a personality that makes you forget he’s actually a dog—he truly thinks he’s human. Whether it’s the way he sits in chairs or how he insists on being part of every family activity, Bear has an uncanny ability to connect with people on a deeper level. He’s incredibly expressive, with eyes that speak louder than words and a face that can’t hide his feelings—whether he’s excited, curious, judging you, or just ready for a nap. Bear’s affectionate nature is one of his most endearing qualities. He’s a total cuddle bug who will gladly curl up next to you for hours, especially if he’s getting pets in return. And when it comes to meeting new people—or pups—Bear is a social butterfly. He lights up around new friends and absolutely adores the ladies, always turning on the charm with a wag of his tail and a playful grin. More than anything, Bear just loves life, friends, family, and ladies. Whether he’s out on a hike or walk , making new friends, or being snuggled up on the couch, he brings warmth, humor, and love to everyone around him.

Where did you get your pet?
Bear is from a well-loved line of English Golden Retrievers in Utah, known for their sweet temperaments and intelligence. After moving to Mill Valley, Bear was reunited with his uncle from a previous litter, who quickly became both a big brother and role model and taught him everything he knows. Their bond is special because of the tough love his brother showed him at first but it has made bear into who he is today, with playful wrestling matches and long naps side by side. Over the years, Bear has stayed in touch with many of his siblings from his litter, whether that means they live in Marin County too or in Massachusetts or South Carolina. Whether through play dates, family meetups, or visits during travels, Bear absolutely lights up when he sees them. He adores each one and always remembers them, no matter how much time has passed.
