Meet Bruin, a lively and playful young dog in search of his forever home. At about 1 year old and weighing 46 pounds, he brings a vibrant spirit to every room. After undergoing extensive medical care for a significant neck swelling caused by an incident with a wasp or spider, Bruin is now in excellent shape and ready to find a new family. His playful nature shines through as he enjoys snagging squeaky toys, engaging in tug-of-war games, and, of course, relishing cheese! While Bruin has shown potential to get along with tolerant, friendly female dogs, his dog social skills still need improvement. A meet-and-greet with any resident dogs is strongly encouraged. With his energetic personality, he may not be the best fit for young children, but he'd thrive with kids aged 10 and up who can help train him. Having entered the shelter as a stray, Bruin lacks a complete history but displays a friendly demeanor. It’s essential to consider that all animals can be unpredictable, and patience is key as he adapts to his new home. Bruin is ready to share his love and joy; could you be the one to give him a chance? Ready to meet this playful companion? Apply today!
