My personality

My story

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

Hi! I’m Bruce and I like warm hugs. I am very happy to meet new friends and play fetch to my heart’s content in the backyard with my person. I like long walks in the park and rides in the car. My favorite thing in the whole world, though, is to cuddle with my people. Everyone that meets me says I’m a smart boy because I have learned many new words over the past week, like “sit”, “wait”, “off”, “lie down” and “drop it”. I like it when they tell me I’m such a good, handsome boy. I am looking for my forever home with people who like to play and cuddle!

I like to say that I’m a mild-mannered cuddler by day (Bruce Wayne) and an undercover masked super hero who demands justice for all the dogs who get tricked into only getting half a treat before bed at night. I promise to be loyal and devoted to you if you choose to adopt me into your family, and we will be the strongest team in the universe. The only rule I have is that you keep my alter ego identity a secret, especially from any potential evildoers, like the neighborhood cats because they can be a gossip! Be my family, please? I am requesting a home as the only pet where I can have all the love to myself! I was saved from the "kill list" at the local high-kill shelter back in June and would love to have a forever family to call my own before the holidays.

Take the Pet Home

Additional adoption info

A home check may be performed when taking the pet home. This is up to the discretion of the rescue founder and may be performed upon her decision. This step will ensure our animals are going into the best possible homes and will never be treated as less than a best friend and companion ever again. We are dedicated to the best possible fit for each animal that comes into our care.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are 100% foster and volunteer run. Therefore, the first step in meeting one of our adoptable pets will be to submit an adoption application by following the link posted above to either our website or directly to our adoption application. Once an adoption application has been approved, we can set up a meet and greet with the applicant and the animal the applicant is interested in. Please allow 24-72 business hours to receive an answer back about your application, as all of our volunteers and fosters have additional jobs outside of the rescue and use their spare time to provide care to these animals in our program.

Adoption events can also be found posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages located under the name "Happy Tails Canine Rescue". These events are open to the public and do not require an adoption application in advance to meet any of our pets that will be attending.
