About Bruce

Bruce is a 1-year-old Staffordshire Pit Bull mix on the lookout for an active and caring home. This 70 lb charmer is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, making him ready for a loving family right away. Affectionate and sociable, Bruce enjoys the company of both people and other dogs. His ideal days include hiking trails, playing in the water, and basking in the sun. With his energetic spirit, he thrives on outdoor adventures and consistent training, yet he can be quite the cuddle bug when it’s time to wind down. While he’s still honing his leash manners and focusing on distractions like squirrels, Bruce’s eagerness to learn shines through. Although he hasn't been around kids or cats, he would do best in a home with older children aged 12 and up due to his mouthy tendencies. Bruce is being rehomed as his previous owner faced health challenges. He deserves a home that can provide the love, exercise, and attention he craves. Give Bruce the forever home he needs.
