Bruce is a 2 ½-year-old Bulldog mix with a heart as big as his goofy, lovable smile! This handsome guy has just completed a 4-week board and train program, where he polished his manners and learned lots of new skills. Now, he’s ready to find a forever family that will keep up with his training and give him the active lifestyle he thrives in!
Bruce is a toy enthusiast—he’s great at tug-of-war and is learning the ropes of fetch. He enjoys playtime and would love a yard where he can zoom around! He currently lives in a foster home with a female dog, and they love to wrestle and chase each other. Bruce has also done well playing with other dogs, but he prefers to be the confident leader of the pack. With proper supervision and the right match, he could do well with a female canine sibling. In his current foster home, Bruce is cuddly, crate-trained, and housebroken. He’s food-motivated and eager to keep learning with his future family. While he can get a little nervous in busy public places, he handles it well and isn’t reactive.
Bruce is looking for a medium-active to active home that will give him daily exercise through walks and playtime. Because of his physical play style and occasional nerves, he would do best in a home with children 10 years or older. If you`re looking for a playful, affectionate, and fun-loving companion who will keep you laughing with his big goofy grin, Bruce might be your perfect match! Please note Bruce is in a foster home and not available for same day meet and greets. If interested in learning more about Bruce or scheduling a meet and greet, please email the foster team at foster@cuyahogacounty.gov today!
