Why I need a new home

Fostered

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bruno is a sweet and smart 8-month old Nigerian rescue, seeking a loving, safe and stable home. We are currently fostering Bruno for a family member who adopted him while she was in Nigeria. He gets along with our 12 year old dog but gets overwhelmed by our energetic and larger 9 month old foxhound. Bruno seems happiest when alone with us walking in the woods or relaxing on the couch. Bruno loves to sit on his human’s lap and cuddle. He even sings when he is happy! Bruno is an affectionate dog once he feels comfortable with you, but you must be patient in building his trust. He has mild separation anxiety and reacts strongly to strangers. He is protective of his humans. He is well trained on-leash but will bark at strangers and is doing well with off-leash training. Given Bruno’s behavioral issues, he will do best in a quiet environment without kids or frequent visitors. He requires an experienced dog owner who will continue his training and has the patience to win his trust.
