🐾 Meet Bruce 🐾Bruce is a 1-year, 5-month-old, 50-pound neutered Lab mix looking for an active family to match his energetic personality.His previous family loved him dearly, but after moving from the country to an apartment, they realized that apartment life just wasn't the right fit for Bruce. He loves children, kittens, and even Chihuahuas, making him a wonderful companion for many families.Bruce is still learning his manners. He can be a strong puller on the leash, does best on a consistent potty schedule, and can become anxious during car rides or when left home alone.
