About Bruce

Bruce is a laid-back and affectionate companion, enjoying a mix of playtime and cozy couch moments. This expressive dog has a charming way of communicating his happiness with a unique "talking style" and a gentle paw tap when he seeks attention. He absolutely adores kids of all ages and gets along well with other dogs. However, he thrives best as an only pet or with just one canine sibling, allowing for that special one-on-one time. Bruce loves to bask in the sun, appreciates a bit of wet food mixed in with his dry kibble, and treasures bonding moments with his person. A fenced yard would be a nice perk, but regular potty breaks will suffice. He’s indifferent to cats he encounters on walks, but doesn’t currently share a home with one. Health-wise, Bruce is up to date on vaccinations and will soon be neutered. He was rescued after being found as a stray by a generous community member. With his long legs, soulful brown eyes, and striking black coat with cream markings, Bruce looks like he stepped straight out of a movie.
