My name is Brus!

Hello! Hi! Hey there! I’m so glad to see you! My name is Brús and I’m a really happy boy boxer/lab mix. I really like to play with you, or cuddle, or play with the cat, or cuddle, or even play outside alone.

I’m about 3 years old and have lots of lab energy! Sometimes that means that I jump up on new people, and sometimes that means I get a little excited on my walks. I like to play tug and to play with a tennis ball. My foster human keeps asking me to give her the ball, and I don’t know why. It’s my ball! 

But I also have lots of boxer energy that looks like cuddles and silly sleeping poses. I like to sleep in a cozy, fluffy bed, but I also like to sleep on a rug or a couch or your bed, if you let me. My foster human says I have a cute snore, but I don’t know how she can hear me snore when I am snuggled right up against her.

I love to play with dogs, though sometimes they don’t like how much energy I have, and the cat I used to live with was not a fan of my playful energy. He was ok if I just cuddled him though.

Oh, did I mention I like kids? I am big, around 70 pounds, so I actually prefer the big kids and adults, but I like when the little ones pet me and give me treats, too. I just sometimes accidentally knock them over so I try not to play around them too much.

My foster human says I’m doing great in my sit, stay, lay training, though sometimes I’m so excited that I did a good job that I jump up too soon. I also need to work on my leash skills, so some refresher classes would be a fun thing for us to do together. My foster human thinks I’d be a great hiking buddy because I love to play outside and I have great ‘recall’, whatever that means. I am also house trained, and I’m ok if you want me to be in my kennel, too. I like my kennel and it helps me calm down sometimes.

Overall my foster human says I’m a great boy and would be a great addition to any family who wants a cuddly, playful teenager.
