Notes from Underdog Rescue of Arizona, LLC

MEET BRUCE!

Bruce is a 5-year-old brindle mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s house trained, food-motivated, and knows all the basics like “sit,” “down,” “stay,” and “place.” While he’s not the cuddly type, Bruce is incredibly loyal and always excited to see his people — complete with happy tail wags and enthusiastic jumps (watch out, he doesn’t quite realize how hefty he is!).

This goofy guy has some funny habits, like gently nibbling on couch cushions (no damage — just a quirk!) and rolling around on his back with his tongue out like a clown. He loves car rides, is great at playing catch, and keeps his foster laughing with his expressive, sometimes bashful looks.

Bruce is calm and well-behaved at home, even when left alone, but he can be protective and reactive on walks. He’s best walked during quieter hours, and he needs an owner who can handle his strength and guide him with confidence. Bruce should be the only pet in the home and is not a match for cats, small animals, or young kids due to his size and sensitivity to fast movements.

Bruce Would Thrive In a Home With: • No other pets or young children • A calm, quiet household with minimal visitors • A secure, fenced yard (6 ft required) • An experienced dog owner comfortable with reactivity and continued training • Patience, structure, and room for him to be his goofy, loyal self

Bruce is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find a home that will appreciate all his unique qualities.
