“Once lonely in Utah – Now Seeking His Forever Home”

Hi — my name is Bruno and I’m seeking a loving forever home.  I was once lonely in Utah, found as a stray, wondering the streets and quite malnourished.  Some humans got me off the street but it was all quite scary.  Their resident dog made me feel threatened so I couldn’t stay there.  I was dropped off at a Utah shelter.  This was definitely rough on me.  It was good to be off the streets but I kept hearing humans say “my days were almost up.”

Then along came Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue, Inc.   An amazing RMGDRI foster family picked me up and brought me home.  They told me I was safe and wanted to help me find the people I was meant to be with.

I can come across a bit gruff at first when you meet me.   But that’s not really me.  It’s my defense mechanisms kicking in because of so much uncertainty in my past life.  Once I get to know you  I am super affectionate and a bit of a couch potato.  I also love going on car rides with my humans.  I am happiest when I can catch some rays in lay in the sun.  It sure feels good just lounging like a lazy Dane! As my defenses melt away, my heart just gets bigger.

I have some things to work on:  I will jump up on people at times – I’m told this is not OK and I am improving.  I can also react to other people on a leash.  I didn’t have much leash training before finding my foster home and I have definitely learning each day.  Someone new coming to the home can also make me nervous.  A confident human teaching me strangers can be OK and I am still safe will go a long way. 

I have mastered my “sits”, improved on accidents in the home and am getting accustomed to crate training.  I think I am what you may call a diamond in the rough.  Once smoothed and polished, I will shine bright and be a faithful and grateful boy for my forever family.  Are you willing to give me a chance?

More about this rescue

RMGDRI is a group of volunteers concerned with the welfare of Great Danes. Every day, we save the lives of Great Danes by funding their medical care, advanced surgical treatments, spay/neuters, food and shelter.

As part of our mission, RMGDRI firmly believes that it is our responsibility to do all that we can for every Dane that comes into our haven, into our care.

Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue, Inc. is recognized as a major resource for the welfare of homeless, abandoned and abused companion animals

Our goal is to lower euthanasia rates in our region by:

1. Bringing adoptable pets into our program for medical and social rehabilitation and re-homing.

2. Providing resources to pet owners to encourage their responsibility and commitment to their pets and prevent them from contributing to the homeless pet population.

We want to continue to be a valuable resource to our community. We believe that one person can make the difference in the life of an animal in need, so as an organization, we have more strength to help more animals.
