Bruno

Hello, world!<br/><br/>My name is Bruno, and let’s get one thing straight—I am incredibly handsome (obviously). But there’s more to me than just my good looks. I am loyal, silly, loving, and affectionate. I am also a big fan of snacks (seriously, I LOVE snacks). When I love you, I LOVE YOU. Oh, and I absolutely adore car rides and sitting in chairs. If it fits, I sit!<br/><br/>Now, let’s talk about the not-so-simple part. I need to be honest with you because adopting me will be different from a typical adoption. I am a big, strong boy —95lbs— and when I am scared or unsure, I have a very loud (and let’s be real, intimidating) bark. The truth is, I am a nervous and fearful dog. Not just shy, but truly afraid. I don’t trust new people right away, and I will react by barking and lunging to make you go away and to feel safe. The team here at GTHS has been working with me, and I am trying so hard to be better. I have a tailored behavior plan, special equipment, and a ton of post adoption support including a consultation and additional training sessions with our Behaviour Specialist.<br/><br/>Because of my needs, there are some things I absolutely require in my future home:<br/>-No children<br/>-No cats<br/>-Another dog? Maybe—but it would have to be an amazing match.<br/>-A patient, understanding and committed adopter who has a great deal of experience and who is willing to provide consistent training and help me to manage my reactivity and my triggers<br/>-A calm and structured environment to help me build trust and continue my progress<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting me, the first step is to chat with Jill, our adoptions coordinator at jill.peters@gths.ca or 705.445.5204 ext 226. She will go over your application, and we will have a conversation about me. Adopting me won’t be a quick process—I need time to learn to trust you, and you need time to learn all about me. But I know the right person is out there, and when we find each other, it’s going to be amazing.<br/><br/>My Underdog adoption fee is $100 and includes my spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, dewormer and a microchip. If you want to learn more about me, please come visit the GTHS and speak with one of the amazing Adoption Counsellors! The GTHS is open for adoptions from 12pm-4:00pm, every single day of the week and they would be thrilled to introduce you to me! I can't wait to meet you and am looking forward to starting my new life with my new family!<br/><br/>Everyone at the GTHS is rooting for me, and I know my new home is out there. Maybe it's yours?<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Bruno
