Story
Meet Bruce (formerly known as Simon)
Sometimes loving a dog means recognizing what they need most - even when it's incredibly hard to let them go.
Meet Bruce, a 3-year-old, 12-pound Cockapoo and former LOLAs pup. His family has loved him deeply ever since adopting him 3 years ago and describes him as goofy, sweet, affectionate, and one of the biggest cuddle bugs they've ever known.
Bruce's favorite place is wherever his person is. He loves being held and will happily wiggle his little body into your lap or arms in the most uncomfortable positions imaginable just so he can be close to you. He's a sweet, funny little guy who loves stuffed toys, learning tricks for treats, and simply being part of his person's world.
Over the years, Bruce's family has done everything they could to help him with his anxiety. They worked with trainers and behavior professionals, tried medication, and made changes to help him feel more comfortable. But as life became busier and their family grew, they began to realize that the hustle and bustle of their home was making it harder for Bruce to feel at ease.
Their decision to return him to Lola's Rescue wasn't made because they stopped loving him. Quite the opposite. They made the incredibly difficult choice because they want Bruce to have the opportunity to live a life where he feels safe, relaxed, and happy.
Bruce is a sensitive little soul. He can be nervous in new or unpredictable situations and needs a little time and patience to feel comfortable. Once he trusts you, though, you get to see the goofy, loving boy his family has cherished for the past three years.
Bruce would love a quiet, adult-only home with someone who enjoys a close companion and understands that some dogs simply need the world to move a little slower. A predictable routine, patience, and lots of affection will go a long way with this special little guy.
He has lived with another dog and could potentially enjoy having a friendly canine companion again. A fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus.
Bruce is crate trained, knows his basic commands, has mild energy, and is happiest when he's snuggled up with his people.
He doesn't ask for much.
Just a quiet place to feel safe, someone to love, and a lap to call his own.
We think that's a pretty wonderful thing to give a dog.
Bruce is ready to start again.
