Bruno is a happy, playful bulldog who is excited to find his forever family! He was surrendered through no fault of his own when his previous owner's living circumstances changed. Bruno is doing very well with potty training, his foster home does have a doggie door that is open when his people are home. Bruno is very eager to please and catches on to things quickly.
Bruno has two speeds - crazy and flop. You never really know what you are going to get with this silly dude! He would enjoy having other dogs in the home to play with, but he would do okay on his own too. If he is an only dog, be prepared to spend a lot of time playing with him! A dog sibling who is not timid would be ideal for Bruno's forever home as he is a lot to handle and could overwhelm a timid dog quickly. Bruno is a big puppy, but he does sometimes question authority. His new owners need to be prepared to be firm and consistent with him as he tests the boundaries of his new home. Due to his size and strength he needs to taught (or in his case reinforced) that he needs to be a good boy with manners. Bruno LOVES toys so don't expect to keep toys neatly put away in the toy box, he likes to rotate through an assortment during his play sessions.

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
