Bruno is incredibly friendly, always wagging his tail and eager to shower affection on anyone who crosses his path. Bruno is playful and enjoys romping around in the yard or snuggling up on the couch for a cozy nap. Bruno is seeking a forever home with a loving family who will cherish him as part of the family. He would thrive in a household where he receives plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. A fenced yard would be a bonus, as he loves to explore and stretch his legs. Bruno would do well with children and other dogs as long as they are introduced properly and given time to bond.

Story
Woof! Hi there, I'm Coconut, and I'm ready to be your new best friend! Let me tell you a little bit about myself from my own doggy perspective.First things first, I love attention! Yep, any kind-snuggles, scratches behind the ears, belly rubs, you name it. There's nothing that makes my tail wag faster than getting some good old-fashioned love and attention from humans. I'm all about soaking up that affection like a sponge!Now, about my needs-I'm a sweet pup who could use a bit of TLC. Grooming? Yep, that's on my to-do list. A little pampering here and there will do wonders for this fluffy coat of mine. A loving hand to brush and care for me would be just paw-some!I might need some extra care, but let me tell you, I'll repay that with a heart full of gratitude and tons of love. I'm really good at showing appreciation to those who show me kindness and care.I might not have had the easiest journey, but I'm ready for a fresh start with a loving family who understands that I just need some extra love and care. I promise to be the most loyal and loving companion you could ever hope for.So, if you're looking for a sweet and loving dog who's ready to give you all the love in the world, and maybe needs a little extra care in return, then I'm your pup! Let's meet and see if we can be each other's perfect match! If not reclaimed by owners, I will be available for adoption 12/06/23
