About Brutus

Brutus’s journey has been quite a ride. This small 10-pound Pug and Chihuahua mix first arrived from Texas, but his tight leash on life soon slipped when he got away during a walk and was struck by a car. After an emergency trip to the vet, where he fought through lung and head trauma along with weakness in one leg, he is back on his feet, showing remarkable resilience. He now seeks a loving home that will provide the safety and care he deserves to thrive. Though he doesn’t have any special needs, Brutus will benefit from a patient and understanding adopter willing to help him adjust. He has been spayed, vaccinated, and is ready for a new chapter in life. Be the person to help Brutus find his happy ending. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
