About Bruce

Meet Bruce, a distinguished gentleman who’s ready to enjoy his golden years in a loving home. With his soulful brown eyes and adorable floppy ears, he's impossible to resist. At 9 years old and weighing 57 pounds, this shepherd mix has endured enough hardship, having once scavenged for food in a community. Fortunately, those tough times are behind him. Bruce is house trained, crate trained, neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccinations. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making him a sweet companion. Bruce relishes the outdoors, exploring his surroundings, but just as happily settles in for a cozy afternoon in the living room. All Bruce desires is a secure yard, a cozy place to relax, a full belly, and a family to call his own. His gray muzzle may hint at age, but his heart is full of love waiting to be shared. Could you be the one to provide Bruce with the forever home he deserves? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
