My personality

My story

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

Meet Bruce: The Gentle Soul Waiting for His Hero 💛

Introducing Bruce, a 7-month-old mixed-breed puppy with a heart as big as his paws. Bruce and his sister, Demi, came from tough conditions in Florida, but thanks to a few real-life heroes, they made their way to Darbster—where Bruce is now looking for the loving forever home he truly deserves.

Because of his past, Bruce is a sensitive, tenderhearted boy who takes the world in carefully and quietly. He may be shy when first meeting new people, and loud noises or quick movements can make him retreat into his shell. This sweet pup needs time, patience, and a calm environment where he can feel safe enough to bloom.

But once he does?

His true personality shines in the sweetest ways:
💛 Affectionate Companion – When he trusts you, Bruce leans in for gentle belly rubs and soft cuddles.
💛 Deeply Loyal – He bonds deeply with his people and will become an incredibly devoted friend.
💛 Playful Puppy – Give him time to warm up, and his silly, happy, puppy side comes out—you’ll be rewarded with tail wags and soft, joyful moments.

🏡 Bruce’s Ideal Home:
Bruce is looking for a patient, understanding family—one that values gentle introductions, steady routines, and building trust at his pace. He would thrive in a quieter home where love is abundant and kindness is constant.

This special boy has so much love to give. He just needs someone willing to show him the world isn’t so scary after all.

If you’re ready to help Bruce feel safe, loved, and cherished, come meet him—he’s more than ready to meet the person who will change his life. 🐾💛

More about this shelter

At Darbster Rescue, our goal is to place kittens, cats, and dogs with great, forever homes in New England. The pets are primarily from South Florida and other southern states where the euthanasia rates are very high. Our shelters are in New Hampshire which has a strong demand for pets relative to supply and where shelters like ours are strictly no kill operations. Our animals will go to their new homes spayed or neutered, UTD on shots and a clean bill of health from FL and NH. We are here to help everyone look for the perfect match for themselves and their family.
