About

Meet Bruce

Look at this sweet-faced, beautiful boy! Bruce is a 5 yr old tri-colored smooth collie hoping for a forever home. He is adjusting to his new life in his foster home. Being new to the indoors, Bruce has shown some anxieties. He is nervous when going on stairs, hides when he sees his leash and is tentative with strangers. If someone new comes into the home, he is shy and cautious. His foster family is working on his behavior daily and they have seen great  progress. He is almost house trained and he is learning his commands. Luckily, Bruce is extremely smart and is motivated by treats and food. His foster family is confident he will continue to grow. Bruce enjoys the company of other dogs. In fact, he is extremely happy and playful when he meets one. He loves to actively explore the outdoors and then is happy to go inside to his new surroundings. He settles in comfortably once the house quiets down and happily accepts the stillness of the home. He is building up a trusting relationship with his foster family and looks to them for daily snuggles and guidance. With patience, kindness and consistency, this timid gentle boy will continue to flourish.
