This boy is so handsome with his beautiful coat! Bruno is a 2 year old mixed breed weighing 69 pounds. Maybe some Catahoula mixed in? He likes everyone and is very playful. He is such a happy boy with a fun personality. Bruno does well on his walks as long as you don't mind detours for lots of sniffs. He is dog friendly. If you have another dog, we require a meet and greet to be sure it is a good fit. Bruno also passed his cat test!
Because he is a large active dog, we think he would be happiest in a home with a fully fenced yard so he can run and play safely. He just joined us so we are just getting to know him.
If Bruno sounds like a good fit for your family, you can meet him and all of our amazing adoptable dogs on Saturdays from 10-2 at Dogs Forever, 809 Rockford Rd SW in Cedar Rapids IA. Please fill out an application using the link provided below so we can learn more about you and your home.

More about this shelter
Dogs Forever Safe Place is an Adoption Guarantee shelter where volunteers care for homeless dogs who need a second chance for a better life.
Some of our dogs come from kill shelters where they were at risk of being euthanized or from other Iowa counties that have no animal shelter.
Dogs Forever provides a refuge, a sanctuary, until the Adoption Committee finds their forever home.
