Meet 2502-0782 Bruno

BRUNO - almost 8 years old, 48 pounds, house trained, unknown about cats, ok with some other respectful dogs. BRUNO is a quiet, easy-going boy who landed in the shelter when his owner lost his home. He is experienced at being a member of a family.  House trained and good on the leash, what more could you ask for? I'll tell you!  Bruno will be your shadow. He doesn't like being left alone but instead wants as much attention as you are willing to give him. He is a player and even though a big boy, he loves to play with silly plush toys. He can be trusted when left alone roaming free in a room. Afraid of vacuums and stairs, Bruno does enjoy going for walks. Bruno is a shy boy and will need some patience and space as he gets used to new surroundings and people. He knows a lot of commands and will readily do for treats. He is not a fan of small children and will avoid them when possible. Bruno doesn't have a problem with vet visits but if there is a shot involved, we are told it might be better to use a muzzle. Bruno is waiting to meet you! Come on in and ask.

Adoption Process
