Bruno's fosterer writes...

When Bruno was turned into the shelter, the owner giving him up said he never spent any time inside, and had been given no training. But you’d never know it! This pup seems to be house-broken, and has made himself perfectly at home on our dog couch and with the dog toys. He is quickly picking up commands, starting with sit and come. He only had to be shown the doggie door once or twice before he was using it with confidence.


He plays nicely with the other dogs in the household, and does not have to be in charge. He walks well on leash, and happily comes over to be petted. He is a leaner, and tends to look up at you adoringly. He's looking for a family in which someone's home most of the time.


Bruno has his mother’s tail (we know she was an Akita mix), but the pointer coloring and tendency to lift a paw when he’s concentrating on something must come from his dad. His zest for life is all puppy!


Bruno recently showed off his impeccable manners on TV!


If you are interested in Bruno, consider letting us know by filling out a (no obligation) adoption application. Bruno is not expecting to attend the next adoption show, December 22nd at the Bowie PetSmart, although there's always a possibility that plans will need to change at the last minute.
