Bruce is a friendly, social boy who is super smart and cuddly. He is great with puppies and loves to play with just about anyone. He is quite the explorer and would make a great companion dog for someone who likes to take long walks.

Bruce was rescued from Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria. This boy probably had to work hard to get enough to eat and consequently he can be protective of food. He is working on learning that he no longer needs to do this. The best home for Bruce is with folks who can commit to helping him with this training.

You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.
