Brutus is a medium-sized mix—likely a blend of Pit Bull Terrier and German Shepherd—with a handsome brindle coat and a classic short-haired look. After over a year in rescue, he’s become a smart, silly dog in familiar settings but stays cautious and reserved around new people and places. He needs a slow introduction to strangers and tends to warm up with patience—small gestures like tail wags and gentle licks are wins in his book. Brutus needs a home willing to work with his shyness and help him build confidence. He isn’t a fit for homes with young kids, but he’d thrive with an adopter who’s calm and steady, ready to help him reach his full potential. Brutus is fostered in Cosby, TN. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and deworming. His adoption fee is waived for the right home. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
