Our lovely boy Bruce has been here for a little over a year. He was quite a sight upon arrival, with just patches of hair, irritated skin, and sad eyes. The staff and volunteers have loved him, medicated him, worked with him, hiked with him, and fostered him, and we can honestly say that he is a fabulous dog. Bruce has food allergies, but the good news is that he has been here so long, we were able to determine the exact food that he can safely eat for the rest of his life to stay healthy, comfortable, and fluffy. He eats Hydrolyzed Protein food only. This food a little more expensive than regular, but he’s worth it. There are several brands that sell this kind of food. Bruce is a lover, he’s affectionate and sweet and just wants to be mellow and hang out with his humans. He’s been great getting baths and has come to enjoy the attention and the way he feels when done. Bruce is not an excessive barker, but he does like to sing/howl, once in a while, remembering his Husky heritage. Bruce is good with older, mellow dogs that are his size. He is not a fan of young, hyper, dogs or small dogs in general. We think he would be good with kids that are 10 yrs and up and not any younger. He is good on a leash but can be reactive to rude dogs and squirrels. After his walks, he loves to go belly up and get a belly rub down from one of his human admirers. After a year in the shelter healing, he is soooooooo ready for a loving, forever, home. Could that home be yours?
from a volunteer who takes Bruce out on hikes:
We went for a walk in Griffith Park. Bruce is great in the car- no problem getting in or out. We walked for about an hour with a few breaks and he did great - loose leash the whole time. He didn’t react to any other dogs that we encountered. He did pull a bit when he saw the squirrels playing but I corrected him and he listened right away.
