Hi!! My name is Bruno. I am busy boy that has lots of energy! I do well on a leash and am potty trained. I will need to go to a home with no other animals as I can be a little jealous over my toys and do not like to share my food.

Hello everybody, my name is Bailey. I am a special boy and I can be picky about the dogs I get along with. I do not like cats! I am good with kids over 12 years only because I get nervous around them. I get sad when I am left alone, so I would like a family that are homebodies! I am partially deaf so I need someone with patience. Come meet me at the rescue!
