About Bruce

Meet Bruce, an energetic little superhero ready to zoom into your life! This adorable puppy brings a unique mix of Border Collie and Australian Shepherd characteristics, with the potential for some Poodle curls thrown in. Bruce and his brothers love to engage in playful antics—wrestling with squeaky toys and darting around the yard. While he's still a baby at just 2 months old, he already shows a keen intelligence and a penchant for snuggling. Bruce is looking for an active home with an experienced owner who can provide ample outdoor space. He thrives in environments with a fenced yard and ideally would have someone around most of the time, as his energy is high and he enjoys being involved in everything. Since he can nip and herd, a home without small children is essential; apartments aren't ideal either due to his vocal nature. Ready to welcome this little bundle of energy into your home? Bruce is in Troy, IL, and can also be adopted in the Atlanta area. Let’s find the perfect match for him!
