About Bruce

Bruce is an easygoing and affectionate companion who strikes a great balance between playtime and settling in on the couch. This talkative pup has a charming way of expressing himself, often tapping you gently with his paw when he craves attention. He thrives in environments with kids of all ages and other dogs, but prefers to be the only pet or have just one canine sibling, ensuring he enjoys ample one-on-one time. Bruce loves basking in the sun, appreciates a bit of wet food mixed into his dry kibble, and enjoys bonding closely with his human. While a fenced yard would be a nice luxury, regular potty breaks are enough for his needs. He tends to ignore cats on walks, though he does not live with any. Bruce is up to date on all vaccinations and will be neutered soon. He was found as a stray, brought into the rescue by a kind community member. With his striking black coat highlighted by cream markings and soulful brown eyes, he has the kind of looks that turn heads. Your new best friend is just one click away.
