There’s plenty of strong energy here, but Bruno’s also sharp and listens well; he knows his basics and seems to be fully housetrained. Bruno came in as a stray with one damaged eye—no history, just a practical detail. It hasn’t slowed him down, but he’s not interested in sharing space with other animals. If you want a loyal, one-and-only dog who’s all-in on having fun, he fits that bill. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
