My story

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

Hi, I’m Bruce! I’m a sweet and loving 4.5 year old sheepdog doodle mix. I am a little nervous around new people and sometimes bark but I warm up really quickly and will soon be begging you for pets and scratches. I love school aged kids, my foster mom is not sure if I’ve met babies and young kids before but thinks I would be okay with them. I’m a big boy but think I’m a lap dog and will snuggle up next to you wherever you are, maybe even try to lay in your lap. I will follow you around the house and be your best buddy. I am very smart and my foster mom has been working on some new skills with me but they take time to learn, like not barking in the house, not running out the front door when it opens, and learning to share the attention with the resident dogs, who I get along with very well! I love to play with them. 

I would do best in a house with a fence as I like to run free. I am using a tie-out at my foster mom’s house and have run off a couple times when she’s gone to get me back in the house. I just like to run! I am potty trained but don’t yet know how to let you know I have to go outside. I won’t have accidents unless I really have to go and you haven’t let me out in a long time. This has only happened once where I’m staying. I sleep well in my crate and have never had an accident in there. I do well on car rides and on walks, but I get so excited that I tend to pull the leash so I will need to work on that with my new owner.  I love playing with toys and chewing on bully sticks. I am a well behaved boy in my crate while my foster mom is at work. Since I have a poodle-type coat, I will need regular grooming to keep me looking my best and to keep my fur from matting. I am looking for a home that has lots of love to give me!
