Bruno is a playful, affectionate “big dog” that is highly intelligent and attentive to his people. He is 3-5 years old. He loves to learn and wants to please his people. Treats, toys, and praise are great motivators for him. He has learned to “sit,” “wait,” and “drop it,” as well as “give kiss.” He enjoys fetch, and plays with tennis balls, rope bones, and stuffed animal toys. His activity level is light to medium. He loves receiving affection and especially enjoys head scratches and will lean on you for petting. His loving eyes and playful nature will steal your heart!
That is Bruno today. We found him severely injured, in pain, underweight, and fearful of people in December 2024. He warmed up to his surroundings and humans quickly, however. He is comfortable with adult women. We have seen him do well with one adult man but be fearful of another, so he may be less comfortable around men. We believe he could be part of a family including teenagers that have learned to be respectful of dogs. We have been boarding Bruno while we ready a space at home to foster him. We do not know how he will respond to cats. In a kennel setting he does not appear aggressive towards dogs but to date he has not been physically mingled with other dogs.
However, he would likely do well with a couple or a single person. In a home setting, lots of time, love, and patience to help him continue to grow and be comfortable in his setting are key for him. An ideal home for Bruno would be one where he is a single pet with owners that engage and stimulate him. He needs a fenced yard in which to play (frisbee or fetch, anyone?) but also needs to live indoors with his family where he will be regarded as an important family member. He can spend time alone in a kennel setting but greatly loves the company of people and wants their love. Because Bruno is large, he will need continued obedience training. With these elements, we believe he can accomplish just about anything.
Are you looking for a large, playful, affectionate, intelligent and attentive companion that loves to play with his humans and be at their side? Do you like to practice obedience and enjoy training and engaging with your dog? Can you invest time, patience, and love to help a great dog keep growing to reach his full potential? If the answers are yes, then Bruno might be the dog for you.
