Couldn't sleep either? Hi. HONEY BEAR here.

I'm a gentle soul who comes alive on adventures—long walks, car rides, new sights—and I'm so eager to learn and please you with treats and patience.

My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

Born and (almost) raised right here in San Jose.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Labor Day — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.

Thanks for stopping by and giving me a moment — it honestly made my whole day. — HONEY BEAR
