Bruno is a delightful companion who gets along with everyone and is always ready to snuggle. He is neutered, affectionate, and gentle, bringing warmth to any home. Bruno will need consistent training, as his housetraining status is unclear, but with patience and praise, he should adapt well.

His adoption fee is $350 and it covers health exams, vaccinations, grooming, a microchip, and a starter bag of quality kibble.
