Meet Bruno D5908

My name is Bruno and I'm a Lab/Terrier mix with an approximate date of birth of November 22, 2023. I'm now fully vetted, neutered, and ready to come join your home! I'm doing great at learning basic commands and am very close to being fully house trained (accidents are few and far between). While I'm not yet the best at letting you know when I have to go, if you keep me on a routine, I'll do just fine.     Everyone that has had a chance to meet me has commented on how great of a dog I am. They say I'm incredibly lovable, rather calm (outside of typical puppy zoomies or meeting new dogs), and am infectiously cute with showing my teeth and smiling upon greeting people. While I haven't yet experienced Summer, I look forward to it as I love laying in the grass under the heat of the sun. With recent warm weather days, it can be tough to convince me to come back inside. When I am inside, my favorite places to be are curled up in my bed, laying on a rug, or if you're sitting on the couch, I'll be curled up next to you. I'm of course always down for throwing a ball across the room for me to fetch.     I currently live with two middle-aged kids and I get to meet all of the neighbors who vary in age from four to 12. I've had the opportunity to meet several other dogs too. While I'm not a rough player, I am an adamant player in that I can't resist getting into another dog's face to give them plenty of licks. I'm also obsessed with food. My foster parents have found that placing a tennis ball or other obstacle in my dish helps slow me down. During their Spring Break, I also impressed everyone with how quickly I adapted to another setting being watched until their return.      Some additional information from my fosters:  - Although I haven't yet been given a test at "free-roam" during the day, I do well overnight sleeping throughout the house and never get into anything I shouldn't. I may end up being a dog that has more success at free-roam vs one in a crate. Crates make me anxious. With some toys, treat filled balls, and other distractions, I willingly go into a crate and am fine later when you return, but if I don't have distractions, or get bored with them, my anxiety gets the best of me and I just want to get out. For this reason, I'm not recommended to be in a common-wall setting as although I'll adapt quickly to your unit, I will run the risk of irritating your neighbors. My fosters do feel, however, that if your setting requires a crate-trained dog, I can get there but it would the area that I'd need your attention to help me with.     - I'm a fantastic walker, rarely do I pull unless I know we're heading back home and get excited to speed things up. I do get a couple daily walks and I look forward to all the smells and exploring.  - I do great in car rides. I'm not a fan of an open window or the noise of wind, but I generally sit in one place until we get to where we're going.    - I do well on a leash for unfenced yards, but I've now had the opportunity to experience fenced in yards, and they bring out the best in me being able to run around and play.      I hope to get a chance to meet you soon so that we can start our life together while I'm still a young and a growing boy. 

Adoption Process
Our adoption process includes an adoption application. After reviewing your application and contacting the vet and personal references, a meeting is scheduled between the potential adopter and the pet, in the foster's home or a neutral animal friendly place. If there are any resident animals within the home, it is required that they meet at this time. After the meeting, a home visit by one our representatives is REQUIRED prior to finalizing any adoption and we must meet all members of the household where the pet will be living sometime during the adoption process. 6 month post-adoption check in is completed.
