About Bruno

Bruno is a big-hearted Pointer mix with a mellow soul and a goofy streak. At about 4 years old and roughly 75 lbs, he looks intimidating but he's all soft edges—gentle, affectionate, and always out to please. His favorite places are sun patches in the yard or right beside you, supervising your projects with puppy-dog eyes and quiet loyalty. He loves to run a few laps and then flop for snuggles, never quite remembering that he’s a large dog when he wants to curl up beside you. Bruno’s past wasn’t easy—he lost his owner and spent lonely days waiting for a hand to reach out. He was rescued just in time and adjusted quickly in foster care, settling in with other dogs and showing his patient, sweet nature. Bruno gets along with other dogs big and small, is gentle with people of all ages, and even does well with cats. He’s house trained, well-mannered, neutered, microchipped, fully vetted, and ready for a home that gives as much love as he does. He’s currently fostered near New York, NY, and transports can be arranged for good matches. Give this gentle giant his happy ending. Your new best friend is just one click away.
