Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Meet Bruin! Bruin is a sweet, 4-year-old neutered male beagle who became part of the VTSU Veterinary Technician program in January 2026. With his gentle nature and lovable quirks, Bruin is eagerly waiting to find a home where he can feel secure, gain confidence, and continue to explore the world at his own pace. Bruin's favorites include squeeze cheese, and he has a charming habit of preferring meals served on a flat surface like a lick mat instead of a bowl. On his walks, Bruin’s curious nose takes the lead, and he delights in watching birds overhead. He enjoys adventures but is equally content as a cozy couch potato, sharing quiet time with his person. Sensitive and easily startled by loud noises, Bruin prefers rope toys over squeaky ones and gravitates toward calm environments. Once he forms a bond, he is incredibly affectionate, loves to give kisses, and will climb into your lap for cuddles. While he hasn’t been around cats, he may adapt well. Bruin enjoys being around calm, respectful children, so he could be a great companion for families or individuals alike. A calm setting with a steady routine would suit him best, and Bruin will thrive as an only dog. He’s looking for an owner who will patiently support his confidence-building journey. Bruin is a quirky, loving companion who will offer endless love and companionship to someone who truly values his sensitive side. Fun fact: Bruin’s birthday falls under the Taurus sign, so you can expect a loyal and reliable friend who loves comfort and routine! Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
