About Bruce

Meet Bruce, a handsome boy currently finding his way in a new environment. He's been observed keeping to himself, so he might need a bit more time and space to adjust to unfamiliar situations. Slow introductions and thoughtful management around other pets are recommended to help him settle comfortably. As he continues to decompress, Bruce is likely to reveal more of his charming personality. Bruce is at risk for euthanasia due to the overcapacity at Dallas Animal Services, and he’s showing signs of kennel stress. Moving him to a home environment would greatly benefit him.
