Meet Bronco! If you're looking for a handsome adventure buddy with a fluffy coat and a big personality, Bronco might be your guy. Bronco is an almost 3-year-old, 56-pound Australian Shepherdtype mix who combines good looks with an affectionate and playful personality. His previous owner listed him as an Australian Shepherd, and while he may be a mix (we wouldnt be surprised if theres a little Golden Retriever or another herding breed in there), he definitely shares that breeds intelligence, energy, and love of being involved with his people. Bronco enjoys walks, exploring outdoors, and riding in the car where he settles in nicely for the trip. He is house-trained, walks well on a leash, and already knows how to sit especially when treats are involved! Like many smart dogs, hes very treat-motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding. During his recent photo session, Bronco showed both sides of his personality. He was a little shy at first, but it didnt take long before he warmed up running right over to one of our volunteers for pets and attention as if they were old friends. Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate side really shines. Bronco loves being part of the action and bonds closely with his people. He would do best in a home where he gets plenty of companionship, exercise, and things to keep his clever mind busy. Because he has enthusiasm for life, he would likely thrive in a house with space to play rather than an apartment, and while he enjoys kids, his energy may be best suited for families with older children. Bronco can get along with other dogs, though like many dogs he can be a bit selective about his friends, preferring dogs whose personalities match his play style. Cats are not his thing. With the right family who appreciates an active, intelligent dog, Bronco will be a loyal companion and enthusiastic partner for adventures big and small. Apply at www.caninecollective.org
