Story
Meet Bruno! He is approximately 1 year old, 60# and a German Shepherd mix. Bruno came in to us as a stray and was not reclaimed, so we don't have any info on his background. He is one of the sweetest boys!! Bruno can be a bit shy at first, but warms up with pets and treats! He is overall very friendly and wants to please you. Bruno does like kids and women, however seems nervous and leary of some men.   He has been good with a few of the other dogs we have introduced him to here at FCAC! Bruno plays rough, so a more laid back or submissive dog may be a good match for him or one with similar play style.  He LOVES to play with tennis balls and doing pretty good at playing fetch! Bruno is an active boy and will make a great family dog for a family who loves to be outdoors and go on adventures! He'll be a great sidekick!!   Bruno is a NO for cats!  He seems to be potty/kennel trained and walks ok on a leash.   Neutered, heartworm negative, current on vaccines and on monthly prevention. Adoption fee is $100.    If you are interested in meeting and adopting, please submit an application in person or here: https://www.fultoncoanimalcenter.org/application-to-adopt-a-dog Once submitted our staff will review and then contact you to set up a meet & greet! Any other dogs in the home must come for the meet & greet as well! If it's a match, you can take home on the same day!! We do offer a 2 week foster to adopt trial time, to be sure the chosen pet is a good fit, before finalizing the adoption!    Closed Sunday/Thursday    11-4 Saturday/Monday   11-5 Tuesday/Friday    11-6 Wednesday ##1960297##
