My story

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

If you are looking for a buddy that looks like a Lorax, Bruno is the pup for you. He was originally from a no kill rescue but was adopted then came into CAP as a stray with heartworms and weighs a little over 18 lbs (he needs to be on a little diet). He has been treated for the heartworms and is awaiting for his forever home. He can be a bit of a challenge at first and does not trust a lot of people but once you show him you are no arm he will love you so much he will be right at your side. Bruno loves to `booty bump` on you and at times he can be dominant (maybe like you a little bit too much, if you know what that means). He has been around small-medium size dogs and large cats. He will play very little but will ignore most animals most of the time but when he has his favorite toys he tends to get grumpy when animals are near. Bruno hates being left alone and does best when he is in a closed room with a radio on. He has not had a lot of interactions with kids but the youngest he has been around was 7 years and did amazing with them. He can be a bit protective of his family, space, and home sometimes. He also does not like loud noises and tends to be on alert when he hears most noises. He loves cuddling with you in bed. He is also working on being housebroken and will need to have double belly bands on him most of the time. He does well with with baths and car rides. He will do best in a home where someone will be there majority of the time, he will NOT do well in an apartment due to his anxiety/barking. Please let my foster mom know how I am doing in my new home (info is on my personality profile). He has a goodie bag a few of his favorite toys and treats. Please come by and visit with me, I could be perfect match for you!
