Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Bruno is now available for adoption and we are accepting “Adoption Applications”! This is one friendly, silly, fun loving, yet gentle, 55 pound, 26” tall, 2 year old (05/04/2016) Poodle!
Mike and I quickly found Bruno to be an amazing, sociable and simply a wonderful Standard Poodle boy! He will follow us around the house, is very food motivated, loves to be hugged, be with people and enjoys going for car rides. Grab a leash and he will walk to the end of the world with you. Just be prepared to handle all the attention you will receive while walking this handsome boy.
We have also noticed that Bruno enjoys watching TV! While the Disney movie “UP” was on TV a few nights ago, Bruno became concerned about all the barking going on. He walked up to the TV to get a closer view of all the dogs belonging “Charles Muntz” as they barked and closed in on Mr Frederickson and Russell. But, Bruno was glad when the dogs settled down and didn’t hurt anyone. Oh so funny….
Bruno came to us from a loving senior couple who were sadly dealing with failing health, having a difficult time caring for themselves and Bruno who needed more Vet attention, care and time than what they could provide or afford.
When Bruno arrived here, he was in the process of being treated for extremely severe ear infections known as Pseudomonas Otitis.
In preparation for his ear treatments with our Vet, we shaved Bruno’s ears naked. This certainly helped the air to enter his ear canals and assisted in his speedy recovery. Bruno didn’t mind as he thinks this look makes him more handsome! Hmmmm… Don’t you think he’s right?
The University of Minnesota created an ear pack which combines various drugs to treat his infections. Our Vet then flushed Bruno’s ears and inserted this specially made ear implant deep into his ear canals. The drugs were time released to kill the bacteria and infections! Isn’t that amazing?!
At his recent check up, we learned that Bruno’s ear infections are gone! He is doing just fine despite the fact that his ear drums will take more time to heal. But we know that most ruptured eardrums heal without surgery within three to five weeks. Yes, Bruno can hear and will be just fine.
As seen in the video, Bruno LOVES to run fast and far, so a fenced yard will be required! He is tolerant with other large dogs, but has always been an only dog. This big boy considers himself to be a member of a family and NOT the pet.
True to the Standard Poodle breed (bred for hunting), Bruno lets us know when the squirrels and deer get too close to our home. Absolutely NO cats, NO small dogs and NO young children.
To the right family, Bruno’s $ 850.00 adoption fee includes the $55.00 MN state sales tax, all of his Vet work, his shots are up to date, his teeth have been cleaned, he has been wormed, neutered, heartworm tested negative, Home Again micro chipped and registered. Bruno is CKC registered, but his papers and pedigree are not included with this adoption.
Also included is his collar, leash, a very large bag of quality dog food, treats, various squeaky toys, a new blanket and an optional large wire crate.
NOTICE: Like most all rescue groups, because we do home visits before and occasionally after the adoption, we do NOT adopt our Poodles to homes outside a 1 days drive from our location here in central Minnesota.
