Bruce's Story

Bruce<br/>8 years, 17lbs<br/>Rescued in the Southwest after his owner passed away<br/><br/>Meet Bruce!<br/><br/>Bruce has two settings: happily meeting someone new, or happily curled up next to his favorite person. There's no in-between, and there's definitely no yapping. So far in New York, I have not heard him bark once.<br/><br/>Out on walks, Bruce lights up around kids, adults, and other dogs alike. He just genuinely loves people and wants to say hi to everyone he meets. That said, he doesn't need daily runs or long walks. A relaxed stroll with plenty of stops to greet the neighborhood is exactly his speed.<br/>Back at home, Bruce's favorite activity is being close to his person - think couch cuddles, quiet company, and a lot of affection. He sleeps well in his crate and handles being home alone for a few hours without any fuss.<br/><br/>Bruce's skills so far:<br/><br/>Sit (mastered)<br/>Eager to learn more — he's a willing student, just waiting for someone to teach him a new trick<br/>Making friends — with kids, adults, dogs, and probably your neighbors too<br/>Being an excellent low-maintenance shedder — barely sheds, if at all<br/>What Bruce needs: someone who's home often, loves an affectionate and gentle dog, and enjoys having a warm, friendly presence around. He is the kind of dog who makes a house feel more welcoming just by being in it.<br/><br/>If you want a calm, loving companion who's equally happy meeting new friends or snuggling up next to you, Bruce would love to meet you.<br/><br/>**Bruce previously tested positive for heartworm and was treated before he travelled north**<br/><br/>INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?<br/>To adopt apply on our website www.truenorthrescue.org/adopt and email adopt@truenorthrescue.org to follow up on your application.<br/><br/>PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL TO ASK IF HE/SHE IS AVAILABLE.

True North Pet Rescue Mission's Adoption Policy
First Step: Submit Your Application True North does not issue blanket approvals, we consider the needs of each specific dog when reviewing applications. If you don't have a specific dog in mind when applying, please note this on your application so that we can keep this in mind when reviewing. We require home photos for all applicants, but can accept a video replacement. Please enter as much detail as possible on your application, this helps us better understand what you are looking for and how this relates to the needs of the dog you have applied for. For puppies under 12 weeks, we require a care plan. This includes a plan for when the dog will be left alone, as puppies younger than 12 weeks should not be left alone longer than 2-3 hours at a time. Please Note: Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it is not always possible to reply to everyone. If your application is approved, you can expect the following. Second Step: Application Review & Approval 1. If your application is approved, an email will be sent connecting you with the dog's current foster. At this time, you may schedule a mutually convenient time to meet. 2. After meeting, you have 24 hours to confirm if you would like to move forward with finalizing the adoption. After this, if we have not heard from you, we will begin scheduling other meets. 3. If you choose to finalize, we will issue an adoption contract via email. Once the signed agreement has been electronically returned along with the adoption fee (which will be disclosed prior to adopting), you will be all set to coordinate for pick-up with the foster! Adoption Fees: Our adoption fees are comparable to those found amongst other well-known rescues in the city. We only accept electronic payments for adoption fees.
