Hi Friends! It’s Bruno! Just checking in to tell you about some updates from my recent foster slumber parties. Each time I go hang out with my friends Allie & Cameron, I get better and better.<br/><br/>What’s so good about me? Well, here’s the list they sent over:<br/>-A fantastic house guest.<br/>-Potty Trained! With frequent trips outside I had no accidents! I’ve also learned to let them know when I need to potty.<br/>-I do really well meeting new people, with a slow & controlled introduction. In fact while at my slumber parties I’ve made new human friends every-time!<br/>-I’m dog friendly, and then some! I love, love, love, a good playmate. I would probably do best with a dog that likes to play in short spurts because I also value downtime!<br/>-I can be left alone in the house for about 6 hours! I enjoyed sleeping and chewing on my toys while my friends were gone.<br/><br/>These regular slumber parties have given me hope for the future. I love my routine and the people at the shelter, but a shelter isn’t a forever home. These little getaways showed me that maybe—just maybe—there’s a family out there for me to call my own. Being in a home helps me decompress. After a few slumber parties, I finally discovered that the big, comfy box in the bedroom is called a bed and guess what? I LOVE cuddling on it!<br/><br/>My new family will need to be patient and visit me at the shelter a few times so we can build a bond before I go home with them. I know how to sit, and I look very handsome when I do! I’m also learning to shake, lie down, and wait. I’m basket-muzzle trained, so I can go to public places safely. My basket muzzle helps me feel secure when meeting new people and keeps me honest if I get overstimulated and my mouthy puppy brain takes over. I can still get snacks, drink water, and use my voice with it on!<br/><br/>I’m a great dog, but my early life was hard. I spent my first few years with my sister, tied to a fallen tree in a backyard in Flint. I was starved and muzzled with a muzzle that was too small and made it hard to breathe or eat. That was my whole world. But now, I’m a different dog—with a brighter future. My past just means I need a specific kind of home.<br/><br/>I’d do best in a quieter home with few visitors. I can’t live with kids or cats, but I do love having a dog friend. I even have three doggy buddies at my slumber parties, and we have so much fun playing together! A fenced yard would be a huge bonus—I love rolling around outside and taking in all the smells.<br/><br/>Maybe you’re reading this and thinking, “Hey, I don’t like visitors much either.” Maybe you’re a single person or a couple without children or grandkids. Maybe you visit others more than they visit you. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will love you unconditionally, we might be the perfect match.<br/><br/>If this sounds like a good fit, please come to the shelter and start building a bond with me. I can’t wait to have a loving family and a cozy bed to sleep in every night. When that day comes, I’ll be the happiest dog in the world—because someone chose me.<br/><br/>If you’d like to meet me, please stop by Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. If you have any questions, give the shelter a call at 989-348-4117 or email AVAScares2@gmail.com
