My story

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

If you’re in the market for a low-key, low-maintenance grandpa dog, Bruno is in the market for a nice, quiet retirement home to enjoy his much-deserved retirement. This 12-year old, 19-pound Maltese mix doesn’t have the greatest eyesight or hearing anymore, but his sweetness and cuteness more than make up for it.

Bruno is fully housebroken and well-mannered on a leash. While he doesn’t like loud city noises or the sound of honking horns, he does like sniffing around outside and breathing in the fresh air, particularly during less crowded times. He’s absolutely lovely around respectful humans and chill dogs, but he’d would probably do better in a home without boisterous children.

A huge fan of treats, Bruno gobbles up goodies like a vacuum cleaner…and that’s with only one tooth in his mouth! Bruno gets super stoked at mealtime and has a very healthy appetite for a little old fella.

Bruno is very affectionate, but it has to be on his terms. He will let you know when he wants to some lovin’, and then you can pet him, scratch him, massage him, and gently cuddle up to him. Being a petite pooch, Bruno does not like being picked up, but he does well in a pet carrier…you just might have to entice him with a few treats to get him to go in. Same trick applies when it’s time for his eye drops. Hey, he’s not stupid! ;-)

Bruno’s true personality is still emerging, but with each passing day, he is getting goofier and becoming more playful, curious, relaxed, and loving. This dude just needs a kind human to give him the time and patience he deserves to start living his best life: A special dog for a special person.
