My story

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

Meet Bruce, a 2-year-old Foxhound mix who is truly as handsome as he is lovable. He came to us from our friends at Northampton Animal Control with glowing reviews for his charming personality, and he has lived up to every one of them. Bruce greets each day—and every dog and person he meets—with a big, happy tail wag and a bright, joyful spirit.

Bruce loves to play fetch, enjoys a good snuggle, and has a wonderfully sweet and gentle nature. He’s quiet, smart, and an all-around easy companion who seems to fit in wherever he goes. His affectionate personality and friendly demeanor make him a joy to spend time with.

Bruce does have significant skin allergies that will require lifelong treatment and preventative care to keep him comfortable and healthy, so a vet reference is required for his adoption. We do not have any history of Bruce living with cats or children. If you’re ready to provide ongoing medical care and are looking for a loyal, loving best friend, Bruce may be your perfect match.

#2- ADOPT REMOTELY OR PLACE A 24-HOUR HOLD**
