Bruce

MEET BRUCE...<br/><br/>Bruce is a handsome young Poodle mix with a soft white coat, soulful eyes, and a gentle expression that seems to say, "Can I trust you?" At just about 1 year and 7 months old, Bruce has his whole life ahead of him-and we're hoping his next chapter will be filled with the love and security he deserves.<br/><br/>Bruce arrived at our shelter with a severely matted coat, a heartbreaking indication that he had experienced a prolonged period of neglect. Our groomer carefully shaved him down, revealing the beautiful young dog underneath. Now that he has been given a fresh start, Bruce is ready to learn what it feels like to be cared for.<br/><br/>Bruce is timid with new people and will need a patient, understanding adopter who won't expect him to become an instant social butterfly. He needs time to decompress, feel safe, and build confidence. But for someone willing to let Bruce set the pace, watching his personality emerge could be incredibly rewarding.<br/><br/>Bruce does well with other dogs and would benefit from sharing his home with a confident canine companion who can help him feel secure. Because he is a sensitive boy, we recommend a home with children 15 and older.<br/><br/>Bruce has already overcome a difficult beginning. All he needs now is someone willing to show him that the best part of his life is still ahead.<br/>If you have patience, compassion, and room in your heart for a very special young dog, Bruce would love to meet you.
