Hello, future family!
My name is Bruce, and I'm a six-year-old Lab mix weighing in at about 65 pounds. I have a nub tail-whether I was born this way or it was taken off when I was a pup is a mystery, but it doesn't stop me from wagging my non-existent tail in excitement.
I've had a rough start. I used to live in a military dog box, which was pretty scary and lonely. But thankfully, a kind person saw my potential and helped me get into rescue. Now, I'm filled with hope and ready to find a new home where I can share my love and joy.
Let me tell you a bit about myself: I'm a happy, athletic boy who loves all kinds of toys, especially balls. If you have one, you better be ready to play fetch, because I'll keep nudging it towards you until you throw it! If you're busy, I'll entertain myself by tossing it around, but I much prefer when we play together.
I'm good with other dogs and am not an alpha. My best buddy in my foster home is Gunnar (also up for adoption). We love to hang out, especially looking out the window together. I'm housebroken, so no worries about that!
When it comes to snuggling, I love sleeping with you, but I'll move to the floor if I get too warm. I also enjoy car rides and love being part of whatever you're doing. I'd do best with an active family and a canine friend who likes to play as much as I do.
I have mild separation anxiety, so I'll need to be left inside when you're out. I promise I won't be destructive-just give me a chew bone, and I'll be content until you return. My front teeth are a bit worn from trying to get out of that box I was kept in, but it doesn't slow me down! I still enjoy chewing, eating, and playing tug-of-war. I am neutered, totally vetted, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on preventives.
I'm ready to bring endless joy and loyalty into your life. If you're looking for a happy, energetic companion who will bring you toys and love, then I might be the perfect fit for you. Let's meet soon-I can't wait to find my forever home with you!
Love, Bruce
