Description

 Meet lovely Bruno.

  • Bruno is 7 years old and is very small for a lurcher, weighing around 17kg. (which in dog terms is bigger than a whippet and much smaller than a greyhound)
  • Bruno is a super friendly boy who loves his walks and cuddle time at home on the sofa
  • Bruno is very bright and enjoys learning new skills with us. We have been doing lots of games and activities with him, and he obviously loves the interaction with his handlers
  • Bruno has lived with children, and we would consider older children. He can be quite energetic so needs carers who have plenty of time to go on adventures with him
  • Bruno came into our care as he was being left for long periods, which he did not enjoy. He needs a home with someone usually around, or who can make provision with family to look after him, until he can build up confidence being left. This will be a long term undertaking as Bruno really does not like being left.
  • Bruno potentially could live with a very easy going dog if introductions go well here. He can get super-excited seeing other dogs. He can pull and bark as he is such a social butterfly, he wants to go and say hello. He lacks some social skills (we have all met that annoying person that really gets in your face!) For this reason, Bruno would struggle, for example, going to doggy day care with multiple dogs. He would benefit from a home in a quiet location.
  •  Since November 2024, Bruno has been staying in a foster home near to Oak Tree. They are extremely fond of Bruno and find him to be a perfect house guest. They have been working very slowly on Bruno’s separation anxiety, and over excitement on a lead when he sees a dog. This is ongoing. Bruno still comes back to us on days that they have to leave him, so we get to see him for cuddles and training time.

WE HAVE MORE DOGS IN NEED

On average, we have 400 animals come into our shelter every year. Please take a look at some of our dogs looking for loving homes and see if you can find a friend for life. Where appropriate, all of our animals are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. We also give each animal a behavioural assessment to identify their needs and help you find your perfect companion.
