Bear needs a new home

Bear was given up because of an abusive relationship that was ending. One partner would not keep him and the other was unable to. I took him in so he wouldn't have to go to a shelter. He's a very sweet and loving boy. He loves to get outside and walk. He'll be a great hiking buddy for the right person, but has also been very calm and well behaved while I've had him coming to work with me. He'll cuddle up close to you all night if you let him sleep on the bed, and when you're just hanging out watching tv he's sure to find a comfy spot right next to you and will probably end up with his head on your lap. He's great with people and other dogs. He was very shy when he first came to me, but his confidence and curiosity are growing by the day.

He does need a home where he won't have to spend much time alone. He has separation anxiety. He'll chew on things if left out, and he'll try to escape and chew on whatever he can reach if left in a crate. His new home needs to be one with some patience and the ability to take some time to crate train and work with him to feel safe when left alone and meds would be something to consider.

He's a mix of several different breeds, I think. Some German Shepherd, maybe some husky and golden retriever, his tail looks like maybe Akita. He's just over a year old and weighs about 60 lbs.
