Bruno (fka Donover from Chicago Animal Care and Control) is a delightful young yellow lab/pit mix overflowing with love and kisses! This bundle of joy is eagerly searching for a family to call his own. Bruno was a shelter favorite – he excelled in individual nosework training and was a playgroup rockstar! He is currently living in a third-floor apartment with a female, 60lb pit mix and is easy to please with in home activities or nice long walks!

Despite his size, he will continuously look for ways to get into your lap or drape
himself over your body – the cutest weighted blanket you’ll find!

No one is more excited for treats than Bruno! Bruno is not only food-motivated but also incredibly trainable, making him the ideal addition to any loving family. Whether it’s mastering basic commands, showing off impressive tricks, or simply enjoying delicious snacks, he’s always up for the challenge. His intelligence and eagerness to please helped him master basic commands (sit, down, bed, etc) within his first week at his foster home.

Bruno is also a very affectionate boy that thinks all humans exist to pet him! While he’s naturally curious and wants to say hi to all humans and dogs alike, he doesn’t pull too much on the leash and his attention can be fairly easily diverted. Bruno is adventurous and more than happy to go investigate any situation with you. With additional time and training, his reactivity/excitement should be very manageable.

Bruno would thrive in home that can provide him access to an outdoor space and regular exercise. Bruno has fully embraced routine and structure (he will let you know dinner is late at 7:31PM!) and would do best with a family that will give him time, patience, and love as he grows through the rest of his adolescence.

If you’re ready to experience the joy and companionship that only a young, energetic, and loving dog bring, please get in touch with us. Overall, Bruno is a wonderful pup who will fit right in in most homes, he just needs to find his people.

Bruno is currently being fostered in Chicago, IL. No out of state applicants please.
