About Brutus

Brutus is a charming boy who takes a little time to warm up, but once he does, he's all about affection. At first, he shows a hesitant side, barking from his kennel as he greets newcomers, though he usually calms down quickly. His food motivation makes training a breeze, especially if you have tasty treats handy. While he walks a bit reluctantly on a leash, snacks can coax him along nicely. He gets along well with other dogs, though he can be protective of his food—totally understandable given his past. Brutus absolutely adores toys and knows how to keep himself entertained. Whether he’s barking joyfully or playfully tossing his toys around, he thrives in playtime. This sweetheart is eager to share his kisses with anyone who will return the love.
