Bruce

Bruce is available for adoption!

Thank you Jada for the handsome photos of Bruce!

Volunteer Jada reports-
"This handsome stud melts every heart that is lucky enough to meet him. Bruce's personality is really starting to shine through as he settles in. He is an 11 year old, mostly blind senior, but you would never guess after spending even just a few minutes with him. He is spunky, playful, confident and best of all so incredibly sweet. Bruce takes a little bit of time to get used to new environments but once he gets a lay of the land his adorable personality shines. Despite being mostly blind, he adapts quickly. Bruce can be a bit picky when it comes to food and isn't overly food motivated, unless it is really high value. But he is very responsive to his name and is fantastic at following your voice and responds quickly to being called. He enjoys soft squeaky toys and really shows his playful side with them. Bruce loves to cuddle up on the couch and burrow his snout right into the crook of your arm. He is such a sweet boy and everyone that has met him has fallen head over heels for him!"

PERSONALITY TRAITS:
You really can't get more of a perfect senior dog, than Bruce. We are not just saying that.. he is a GEM.

Bruce arrived to us from Stockton Ca where he was found as a stray and sadly not claimed. It is mind blowing that no one came to pick up this sweet soul. He is such an EASY HAPPY guy!

Despite at 11 years of age and him losing his former life and everyone he ever knew and loved, Bruce is resilient, super friendly to all humans and not reactive to other dogs. Bruce is partially blind (or almost completely blind), but he still can have a great time, is playful and fun and enjoys toys. His hearing is on POINT!

Bruce would do best in a home solo or with other dogs that respect his age and can understand him bumping into things, both other pets and people. He can locate his food bowl and water, and doesn't have accidents in his kennel or an office area he was decompressing in when he arrived. We would say potty training he has down to a T.

Someone snatch this older gentleman up and give him the best golden years of his life! He in turn will give you the best years of your life with all his love. No puppy behaviors to work around, Bruce is turn golden key!

**What the shelter veterinarian had to say about Bruce's vision: Doctor suspects Progressive retinal
atrophy (PRA) is an inherited eye disease that leads to blindness in dogs. PRA is a non-painful condition that tends to progress slowly over time, often starting with a decreased ability to see well at night. While there is no cure available right now, most dogs adapt well to their vision loss and continue to have a good quality of life.

Biscuit- DEC 2024 PAWS PRISON PRISON PROGRAM GRAD!

Biscuit is available for adoption!

Bis is kennel stressed and in need of a foster or adoptive home!

CAT FRIENDLY and LITTLE DOG FRIENDLY- (he thinks he's a tiny lap dog himself) This BIG guy is a big sensitive sweet baby. He doesn't realize his size, we speculate he is mixed with a giant breed such as Great Dane.

PERSONALITY TRAITS:
Biscuit is a big goofy guy whose limbs seem to have a mind of their own, flying in all directions as he gallops around the yard. He can be slow to warm up to new people. But once out in the yard where he has the freedom to create space for himself he opens up quickly. Once you are in with Bis, you are IN! Biscuit is both toy and treat motivated and a PAWS GRAD, HE KNOWS A LOT OF COMMANDS! CHECK OUT HIS CGC test below!

Former Foster Family- “Biscuit is big and bouncy but when tuckered out (just a walk or a swim in the water) is a great snuggle. He's great on leash, totally house trained, and tolerates his kennel very well (he eats in his kennel, sleeps there overnight, and is kenneled when left alone). He is a lover of all dogs (he's in foster with a rescue director so has lived with about 30 dogs over the last 4 months) and is pretty respectful if dogs don't want to play. He is absolutely safe with little dogs, we recently had an adult 6 lb-er and she absolutely dominated him. Biscuit is living with 4 cats, has no interest in them, if they often end up sleeping on the couch together.

Biscuit loves water, loves fetch and tug, and gives great kisses! He's very human attuned and eager to bond with his someone. Biscuit does startle at loud noises/commotion and can be a nervous fellow in new situations. He spent a week with an 7 year old and was almost immediately comfortable with her. He’s good in the car, mostly quiet, oozes loads of joie de vivre and has become a wonderful, proper pet. He is not destructive in the house and doesn't have any situational anxiety that we have seen. His recall is perfect and he enjoys lots of off-leash time too. He has been in foster since 4/6. He was at risk for euthanasia in the Pecos Animal Shelter.”
