About Bruce Anthony

Bruce Anthony has spent too long waiting for his family. He’s a medium-sized, 3-year-old terrier mix with a gentle face and tons of heart. Currently, he’s undergoing heartworm treatment, which means he needs a calm, steady home—no wild playtimes or stressful environments while he recovers. Bruce is already neutered and up to date on his shots. He’s most comfortable with people who are patient; once he trusts you, he’ll stick by your side and become your biggest fan. This boy loves treats, learns quickly, and already knows some basic commands. He does best with dogs of all sizes and really thrives with canine and human companionship. Bruce enjoys play but can get a little rambunctious, so older children will suit him best. He needs structure, calm, and a patient adopter who will support his healing process—plus plenty of cuddles. DNA says Bruce is a unique blend: Shih Tzu, Lab, Pit Bull, Chihuahua, and American Staffordshire Terrier. He’s affectionate, loyal, and ready to give his heart to the family willing to help him finally settle in for good. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
