Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617Could he do well with kids? Yes, with children around 10 years old, on kid-by-kid basis.Could he do well with other dogs? We believe he would do best in a home with dogs of the opposite sex, on a dog-by-dog basis.Has this dog lived with cats? Yes. [The Lycoming County SPCA does not “cat test” dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian’s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]---What volunteers have to say about this animal:Meet Bruno – Big Personality, Busy Explorer, Loyal-in-the-MakingBruno is an American Pit Bull Terrier mix in the prime of his life—active, curious, and full of personality.
