Hi my name is Bruno, and I'm a sweet 4-month-old pup. Everyone tells me how handsome I am – just look at my expressive eyebrows and ears! My foster family loves my little forehead rolls and my soft, tawny fur. I'm a great cuddler – I'll curl up in your lap and snooze for hours. They said I was found out in the cold December snow, and I don't like the cold, but thankfully my foster family has lots of warm blankies and even a winter coat for when I go potty.
Speaking of potty, I am mastering potty training! I can hold it in my kennel all night, and I'll go right out in the yard and do my business. I've gotten pretty comfortable wearing a leash and harness, and I can't wait to go on one of these "walks" I'm always hearing about. I'm a curious pup and can't wait to explore more! I love hanging out on the couch with my foster parents and foster dog sister, but I'm content curled up in my kennel too. My foster sister has so many fun toys for me to try out – I love fluffy toys, rubber toys, and crinkly toys. I'm still losing some of my puppy teeth, so you should have some chew toys on hand.
Because of my rough beginnings my legs are a little wonky, so we've been working hard to get me stable and up on my feet again. We do exercises and stretches, and I even get pampered with paw massages! I'm making great progress and I get stronger every day. My foster sister has been teaching me how to play respectfully, and now I know that all I need is a toy and my own space and I can get my wiggles out. I am very talkative once I'm playing, my foster family thinks it silly but I'm serious!
We're just starting to work on commands. Sometimes my floppy legs get in the way, but I am a quick and eager learner. I take corrections like a champ and always aim to please. An obedience class would help me learn more, as I'll do anything for a treat!
I haven't met any cats yet, but I get along great with the resident pup here. She is a 4-year-old American Bully, and she's been patient and firm with me, which is exactly what I need. A more active dog might get me overstimulated or scare me a little at first – I'm a bit shy and submissive when meeting a new dog. So far our "play" just looks like lots of butt sniffs, tail wagging, and she'll even give me a few kisses and cuddles. She's shared all her toys and beds with me, and now I know that I can share too and don't need to worry about not having what I need.
I'd love a family that will give me lots of cuddles and help me grow into the amazing adult dog I know I can be. I have so much love to share and kisses to give. With a little bit of patience and a whole lotta love, I'll be the best dog you've ever had! I can't wait to meet you!
