Brutus is a cute 4-year old male Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on December 4, 2025 with several of his housemates (including Bandit, Molly, and Spot) for a heartbreaking reason. Their mistress had passed away recently, and there was suddenly they became homeless since there was nobody left to take care of them.
This good-looking guy has a tan medium-haired coat with a wiry texture, a long tail, and an adorable Terrier face with dark brown eyes, a black button nose, scruffy whiskers, and long floppy ears with gray shading.
Brutus has a super-friendly, outgoing personality and appears to be quite playful.
Brutus weighs 41.6 lbs.
Brutus will be neutered before being officially adopted by his new family. He could be fostered-to-adopt while he is awaiting his neuter procedure with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application. Brutus would love to be snoozing beneath your Christmas tree or snuggled up with special someone on their couch.
