Bru's Story

Hi I’m Bru, an Australian Cattle Dog / Heeler Pit Mix —5 Years Old<br/><br/>About Me:<br/>Let's get this out of the way: I'm not easy. I'm not going to fawn all over you the first time we meet. Or the second. Or maybe even the third. I'm not rude, I'm discerning. I've been hurt before, probably by someone who didn't appreciate the art of fetch or my advanced herding techniques on joggers.<br/>But I can promise you that once you're in, you're in! I'll love you with the passion of a thousand squeaky toys. I'll gaze at you like you're holding a tennis ball (because honestly, you probably are), and I'll make you feel like the only human on Earth who truly understands the meaning of "go long."<br/><br/>What I’m looking for:<br/>Someone (preferably a lady) with patience, treats, and a throwing arm. Ideally, you're the kind of human who respects boundaries, takes time to build trust, and doesn't get offended when I stare at you blankly on our first date like you just asked me to file your taxes.<br/><br/>Bonus if you understand cattle dog energy. Double bonus if you own a fenced yard. Triple bonus if you already have a collection of balls you're willing to sacrifice to the cause.<br/><br/>Interests:<br/>• Fetch (morning fetch, evening fetch, moonlit fetch)<br/>• Pretending to be sad so you give me extra attention<br/>• Rearranging my bedding with the flair of an<br/>HGTV host on espresso<br/>• Barking at things that might be threatening (like wheelbarrows)<br/><br/>Quirks (but I make it lovable):<br/>• I don't do "instant bonding" —I do "slow burn, emotionally rich indie rom-com." But I beg you to give me chance. I promise I am worth the wait & extra meet and greets. <br/>• I can get a little jealous so prefer to be your only dog. And with the attention I need and deserve after so long in the shelter I would say no little Kiddos prob too. <br/>• I prefer to eat alone. I’m not a “go ahead and pick off my plate” kind a guy. <br/><br/><br/>Submit an app here to schedule a time to meet me! <br/><br/>https://www.henrycountyhumanesociety.org/adoption.html
