About Bruno & Gus

Bruno & Gus are a pair of bonded senior Boston Terriers—Bruno is 12 and Gus is 11—each weighing about 18 pounds. They have spent their whole lives together and ideally hope to find a home that will keep them as a duo, but they could also be adopted separately if needed. Both are neutered, up to date on vaccinations, house and crate trained, and comfortable on a leash. They know basic commands like sit, stay, and lay down. Friendly with other dogs but not cats, Bruno & Gus are not suitable for homes with children and are seeking a calm, child-free environment. These two are loyal and affectionate, just looking for a quiet spot to land. As a courtesy post, they are not in the care of the rescue; instead, applications will be forwarded directly to their owner. They’re looking for someone who appreciates their devotion and maturity, and wants to give them a peaceful place to call home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
