My story

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

Brutus is a absolute beauty.
He is dog selective and goes in a play group with other dogs every day.
He would be best suited for a female adopter.
There might be something in his past that makes him not immediately trust men BUT with time and very slow male introductions, he can learn to trust...as he has with the male staff at the shelter.
To the staff, he is a big goofball and soaks up all attention given to him.
He just needs his right person.

Special Needs-Experienced Female adopter that is sensitive to his non-trust issues with males and will take introductions to new people very slowly. This can help Brutus to be more confident and help his adoption to be successful.

Approx. 3 years old
