About Bruno

Bruno is irresistibly scruffilicious and incredibly charming. He came to us as a stray, and while we believe he’s at least 11 years old, his spirit is youthful and lively. Weighing around 10 pounds, he sports the tallest, pointiest ears and a fluffy, albeit scruffy coat This little guy is a true treat enthusiast. The moment he hears that treat bag crinkle, he’s ready to be your best friend. Bruno knows how to sit and patiently awaits his well-deserved snack. We’re working on helping him take treats gently, and it's a skill we'd love his adopter to keep nurturing. Bruno has interacted well with larger shelter dogs, displaying positive body language, which suggests he could get along well with dog friends. As for kids, we recommend that any children in the home be around 10 years old or older for Bruno’s comfort. Although he's still adjusting to his new surroundings, with a bit of patience, he shows signs of becoming more comfortable with people. Bruno has a wonderful spunk that brings joy to everyone around him. He is neutered and ready for his forever home! Visit him at Michiana Humane Society.
