Meet Bruce, a magnificent young lad weighing just over 100 pounds of pure joy! 🎉 This playful giant has a heart that matches his size, and he brings a splash of fun wherever he goes! Picture this: Bruce tossing his toys up into the air, delighting in his own antics, and then gleefully splashing around in the kiddie pool. Could he be the next Michael Phelps of doggy swimming? 🏊‍♂️ But wait, there’s more to this gentle giant! When playtime winds down, Bruce transforms into a total lovebug. 🥰 He believes he's a lap dog—who wouldn't want a snuggly buddy like him? He'll lean against your legs, demanding all the affection he can get. However, Bruce can be a bit shy around newcomers, so it’s best to introduce him to new friends slowly. At times, his excitement takes over and he may jump, but don't worry! A toy, treat, or a simple command can easily redirect his bubbly energy. While Bruce is as smart as a whip, a little training can help him refine his manners and help him blossom into the charming companion he was meant to be. Given his larger-than-life energy and playful spirit, a home without young children would be ideal for him. ⚠️ Bruce has had mixed experiences with other dogs. His perfect match would probably be a single animal home, though a meet-and-greet with another dog could be arranged. Cat lovers, this sweet boy asks that you look elsewhere. No cats for Bruce! 🐱🚫 Bruce adores car rides and exploring the outdoors, and he seems to be crate-trained, making him even more of a catch! ❤️ At approximately 1 to 1.5 years old, this neutered pup is all set and up-to-date on his vaccines. *Located in Rhode Island. Please note that local adoptions only are accepted. To bring Bruce home, you’ll need to apply through the Buddy App. Don't miss out on the chance to let this big-hearted boy steal your heart!*
