Bruno is an adorable 1-year-old Maltese/Papillon mix with charming oversized ears, long little legs, and a goofy smile that will instantly brighten your day. This handsome 14-pound boy has a quirky look that's as unique as his personality. Bruno came to ROOT Rescue as an owner surrender, and while he was initially unsure of his new surroundings, he quickly began to realize he was safe with the help of his foster family's dogs. Watching the resident dogs helped build his confidence, and before long, his sweet, affectionate personality began to shine. Bruno forms very strong bonds with the people he trusts and has especially bonded with his female caregiver.
Ideal Home
Bruno would do particularly well in a female-only household or with a primary female caregiver who can continue helping him build confidence and feel secure. He would also do well in a home with another friendly, confident dog, as having a canine companion has helped him come out of his shell. He can also be successful as the only dog with a patient adopter who is willing to let him adjust at his own pace. A quieter home without young children would allow him to transition more comfortably and continue building his confidence.
Ongoing Health
Bruno's coat was severely matted upon arrival, so he had to be shaved down completely. His future family should be committed to regular grooming and routine coat maintenance to keep his beautiful coat healthy, comfortable, and looking its best as it grows back. Bruno has been fully vetted and is up to date on his vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, heartworm and Lyme tested, neutered, and veterinarian checked. He is healthy and ready for his forever family.
Training & Support
Bruno is crate trained and enjoys having a cozy space of his own. He is a very affectionate companion once he feels comfortable and loves going for walks and car rides. He simply wants to be close to his people.
