Meet Bruce – The Cigar-Smoking Ham with a Heart of Gold Bruce is a beautiful, strong, and very happy 4-year-old Lab mix who has the biggest personality and an unusual habit — he loves chew bones so much he smokes them like cigars! This funny, sweet boy is also an impressive climber (like a cat!), so he'll need a home with a full privacy fence to keep him safe and secure. Despite his playful and loving nature, Bruce's past has been heartbreaking. He was found by a family who didn't want him and threatened to drown him. Passed from one reluctant person to another, Bruce endured living on a chain, harsh punishment for simply barking, and neglect. Bruce is dog-friendly, vaccinated, and neutered. He does not do well with cats, so a cat-free home is best. If you've ever thought about fostering or adopting a dog in need, Bruce is waiting for his hero. He's ready to leave behind the pain and find the love and kindness he's always longed for.
