About Brutus

Meet Brutus! This big boy has big paws and an even bigger personality! At around 18 weeks old, he's likely going to grow into a seriously large dog. Brutus appears to be a Boxer/Mastiff mix, possibly with a splash of Rottweiler, thanks to his mama's genes. He arrived at the rescue a couple of weeks ago with his mother and four siblings, one of whom is still healing from severe injuries. The rest may follow soon, assuming they don't find their forever homes first. Brutus's fosters rave about him, noting he’s a sweetheart who's well-behaved and gets along brilliantly with other dogs. For a puppy of his size, he’s impressively well-adjusted. Being a puppy, he will require ongoing training, socialization, and the right guidance to develop into a well-mannered adult dog. So far, he has the right foundation, and now he just needs a loving family to call his own. Are you ready for a big puppy with an even bigger heart? Brutus is eager to meet you!
