About Bruin

Meet Bruin, a two-year-old mixed-breed dog full of charm! Weighing in at 50 pounds, he’s house trained and gets more playful once he feels comfortable. Bruin has a friendly side, but it takes him a little time to warm up, especially around new people or in anxious situations like car rides or at the vet. Recently surrendered, Bruin preferred the company of smaller dogs over larger ones, and he might do best in an adult-only home where he can slowly build trust. With a little patience, you’ll discover his playful spirit and silly antics as he enjoys walks and toys. If you can offer Bruin a safe space to flourish at his own pace, he’ll repay you with loyalty and love. Come meet this delightful boy and see if he’s the right fit for your home!
