My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bruno is a super handsome big boy who originally came to PACC as a stray. A little uncomfortable with shelter life, he did a great job of putting on a brave face and learning a routine. Here’s what a couple of his volunteer fans had to say:

“A super duper good boy! Leashes easily, shy but loves to snuffle his nose in your hand to check for treats. Easy loose leash walker. A mega sweetie pie who could use some confidence building.”

“Bruno quietly greeted me at the kennel door. I entered the kennel and he took a jerky treat from my hand and I was able to leash him. On his walk he enjoyed smelling along the trail, and his tail was out. Hopefully as he becomes more comfortable with the routine, he will open up and become more confident.”

Bruno was adopted and spent several months in a home. He was reportedly housebroken, enjoyed trips to Starbucks, likes swimming in the ocean, and loves riding in the car. During a brief stay in a foster home, Bruno was a quiet houseguest who did well with another dog in the home.

In another longer foster term foster home Bruno did GREAT with other dogs, was calm and well- behaved in the house, and was housebroken and crate trained. Bruno’s foster said that he LOVES toys of any kind and is great with his person. He is well- behaved and smart and knows the commands for sit, come, stay, paw, and crate.

Bruno bonds deeply with his trusted person but needs slow intros to strangers. A lower traffic home and time in his crate when folks stop by would be ideal. Bruno is looking for a family that will support him as he adjusts to a new home and who will be aware of his comfort level in new situations.

When meeting other dogs in playgroup, Bruno was appropriate and tolerant and mostly kept to himself. He enjoyed exploring the yard and playing in the doggy pool. He has also shared his kennel politely while in the shelter. Please ask to meet Bruno today!
