About Bruno

Bruno had a tough start, found on his own in an apartment before a local foster spotted and saved him. At about three months old (born 2/9/2026, making him an Aquarius), he’s a medium-sized, short-coated shepherd mix with a bicolor coat full of warm red, chestnut, and cream tones. He’s also up to date on his shots, giving you one less thing to worry about. Bruno has a gentle, playful streak—he loves toys, running in the yard, and welcomes doggy playmates. He gets along well with other dogs and is good with children, though he may hang back at first until he’s sure of you. He’s nearly house trained and getting close to mastering his puppy routine. His puppy energy is constant but manageable, and his playful curiosity makes every day interesting. Bruno is currently living with a foster in League City, TX. Start your journey together!
