Bruce may appear to be your loving sweet old man, but he is so much more. Not only will Bruce push your every button; he will also steal your entire heart. He is an 11 year old American bulldog mix. Life with Bruce is demanding and at times he is anything but an easy dog. However, if you have lots of love and patience Bruce will become the light of your life.
Due to a medication Bruce is on he drinks a lot of water and has to go to the bathroom frequently. Whenever he wants something - he growls. I know, i know, that sounds crazy right? But he means no harm and no foul. It is simply how he communicates. It is much like caring for a crying baby - offer him water, food, a potty break etc and soon you will find the cause for his vocal communication.
Bruce loves but rubs and scratches. He will walk over to you and push his bed up against you until you scratch him. He does well for his medicated shampoo baths but he does require a little payment of peanut butter on the wall. This dog is a car dog! He absolutely loves to ride!
Bruce is a food hound. He will 110% steal food off of your counters if you do not put it away. All trash in the house needs to be covered and preferably in a pantry or behind a cabinet door as he will steal trash.
Bruce gets along with most dogs however most dogs do not tolerate Bruce’s behaviors. Bruce likes to play in a very rough dominating way and unless the dog has a similar play style he usually finds himself in the doghouse with his canine friends. Bruce is 50-50 with cats. He seems to respect and befriend older cats but finds kittens and smaller cats tempting. Bruce will try to dominate your cats and other dogs especially hyperactive young male dogs.
Bruce’s one MAJOR DISLIKE is shutting doors in his face. He is not one for physical boundaries and he is not accepting of humans putting body pressure on him. He will stand his ground however - if you grab a treat he will willingly follow you anywhere!
Bruce’s ideal home would be a tolerant patient owner with experience in bully breeds. His owner would preferably work from home we’re not be gone longer than four hours during the day as he does require multiple potty breaks. He would prefer an owner who believes their dog should go where they go and an owner who will take him on frequent car rides. Bruce would also prefer to be the light of your life - therefore a house will little humans should con
