The Dog You Didn’t Know You Were Missing—Until You Met a Habibi Bear
At Habibi Bears, we didn’t just set out to breed any dog. We created a new breed. A companion with one sacred goal in mind: To become your Anam Cara—your soul friend. Rooted in ancient Celtic wisdom, Anam Cara means a bond so deep, it transcends words. It’s the kind of connection where two souls meet in complete trust, presence, and unconditional love. Every aspect of our program—from thoughtful breeding to intentional puppy curriculum—is designed to nurture this connection. Our puppies are emotionally attuned, intuitive, and ready to become something truly extraordinary in your life: A partner. A mirror. A best friend. A safe place. This is the heart of the Habibi Bear legacy. This is who they are.
When you welcome a Habibi Bear into your life, you’re not just adding a pet to your family. You’re answering the call to something deeper. You’re meeting the companion you were always meant to find. Habibi Bears aren’t just raised for this bond— They were created for it.

Available Puppies
We welcome new litters each season and share their photos on our nursery pages. Once the puppies complete their early curriculum and are ready for personality matching—usually around six weeks of age—families may request a puppy.
If you feel drawn to one, trust that instinct and reach out. You might be the very person we’ve been waiting for. Sometimes, the most magical connections begin with a quiet nudge from the heart.
Our Adoption Process
When puppies are ready for selection—usually around six weeks—we post them on the Puppy Nursery with photos and personality details. To request a puppy, you’ll need an approved application, deposit, and signed contract on file. Once matched, final payment is due and you may choose optional add-ons. Every puppy includes access to our complete puppy raising course and ongoing support. Finally, a breed with its own owner’s manual—and a built-in coach to guide you.
