Brutus is a staff and volunteer favorite who has been in and out of the shelter and has had a bit of bad luck in his life. While we love him dearly and love spending time with him, we don’t want him to spend any more time in the shelter. He belongs in a home!
Brutus was housebroken in his former home and when he gets to know you, he’ll tuck his head under your arm for pets. During a stay in a foster home Brutus was a quiet houseguest, was housebroken, and enjoyed sleeping on his own dog bed (a big one, obviously). He loved chewing on toys and was described as a loving dog who wants to be near his people. His foster said that Brutus is a very good dog who loves walks, going for car rides, and lounging at home. Brutus would love to find a home where someone can be with him often or where he can work on crate training (which he has also been working on in the shelter) for when he is left at home by himself. In his most recent home Brutus loved sleeping near his person who said, “He’s a great dog, super smart, super loving- he’s full of snuggles and affection.”
Here’s what some of Brutus’s friends have said:
“Brutus is a very smart boy and eager to please. He enjoys enrichment and needs durable toys. He loves working his brain and also enjoys training activities! He is the perfect boy! He is such a love bug and loves the pool!”
“Brutus was a big sweetheart on our evening walk. Easy leashing in the kennel and we had a pleasant walk together. He seems to enjoy praise and affection, wagging his tail and accepting pets with a relaxed body. I don`t walk him frequently, so I was very flattered with his comfort level with me! He has very gentle manners.”
“Brutus is my favorite dog at PACC. He is a gentle giant who has acclimated well to shelter life. I adore this smart boy and would love to find him a home with someone who is willing to continue his training. The reward will be a loyal and loving best friend!”
“Brutus is the best boy. I would describe him as a gentle giant. He walks beautifully on leash and is so laid back about his walk. He enjoys Kongs, but definitely needs the strong xxl type! He is such a great boy. I love walking him every time I’m at PACC. He enjoyed a pup cup with me last week and he was so gentle about licking it and cleaning up any mess that was made. I love this boy so much!”
“Big boy Brutus is my big baby! I love him dearly. He enjoys toys and needs extreme chewer toys (i.e. black Kong br
