Bruce

Bruce is a previous Merseyside resident who now finds himself in need of a new home through no fault of his. He has charmed the socks off everyone with his big, silly grin and playful nature, and he is always happy to see his handlers. He’s a friendly boy who loves to greet people, but he can be a little but unsure if people are lingering near him. Bruce’s big love in life is his toys, bouncy ones, tuggy ones, he’s not fussy! Play is a great way to build a bond with this big lad and he’s always thrilled when we join in with him. Bruce walks nicely with other dogs and is friendly, but he can get a little giddy on occasion. He has a tendency to play bow and try to do zoomies, but his sore hips don’t like that, so we try to keep interactions calm and this is why we feel it best he is not rehomed with another dog. Bruce would very much like to have some pals to join him for his walks though. We keep his exercise brief as he pants heavily if he has more than a short stroll, and we don’t want his arthritis to become more of an issue for him. Bruce can live with older teens but he will need to be the only dog in the home, although he can walk with some dogs. He is house trained and has been good when left by himself, but he does love to have company. Bruce has some arthritis and requires daily pain relief.
