Story
Hi there, future family! My name is Bruno, and I’ve been waiting for someone just like you. Life hasn’t been easy lately. My brother Hulk and I were found as strays and taken to the Yuma Humane Society. We hoped our old family would come back for us, but they never did. That was hard, but I’m not giving up hope! Now, I’m staying at Central Arizona Animal Rescue, dreaming every day about finding my forever home—a place where I can feel safe, loved, and part of a family again. Let me tell you a little about me. I’m a handsome mix of Chihuahua and Dachshund, which means I’ve got the perfect combination of charm and personality. I’m small, but my heart is HUGE! I’ve already been fixed, I’m up to date on all my vaccinations, and I’ve been microchipped so I’ll never get lost again. That’s a big relief because I never want to feel alone like that again. I’m great with kids—they make me happy and I love their energy! I also get along well with other small dogs, so if you already have a little furry friend at home, I’d probably fit right in. Big dogs? Well… they scare me a little. I’m working on being brave, but for now, I’d feel most comfortable in a home without any big pups. I want to be honest with you—I have a small wound under my eye. We’re not sure how it happened, and I keep scratching it, which makes it take longer to heal. My friends here warned me that if I don’t stop, I’ll have to wear the dreaded “cone of shame.” Yikes! I really don’t want that, so I’m trying my best to leave it alone. With a little time and TLC, I’ll be good as new. Now, about my brother Hulk—he’s awesome too! We don’t have to go to the same home, but if you have room in your heart and home for two, adopting us together would be amazing. We’ve been through so much side by side, and it would mean the world to keep that bond. But if it’s just me, that’s okay too—I’ll love you with everything I’ve got. What I really want is a family who will give me the love and security I’ve been missing. I promise to be loyal, affectionate, and your best little buddy. I’ll wag my tail when you come home, snuggle with you on the couch, and make you smile every single day. All I need is a chance. If you think you might be the one for me (or for me and Hulk!), please reach out. You can email mike@caaronline.org to set up an appointment to meet me. I can’t wait to show you how sweet and loving I am in person. Maybe today is the day my dream comes true. Thank you for reading my story. I believe my forever family is out there—I just need you to find me. Could you be the one to give me the happy ending I’ve been waiting for?
