Bruce

My story

Quick Facts Name: Bruce Age: 6 years old approximate  Gender: Male Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Alaskan Malamute  Color: Black & White  Weight: 32kg    All About MeBruce is a four-year-old Alaskan Malamute weighing 32kg. He has been neutered, vaccinated, and is ready to find his forever home. He was found as a stray and ended up in a city pound, but despite having a microchip, no one came for him. He was at risk of euthanasia before being rescued and has now been waiting in a shelter for over a year. Hot and humid summers in Korea have been challenging for him, and he would thrive in a home where he can stay comfortable and cool. He is affectionate and enjoys meeting people, often leaning in for pets and belly rubs. He also tolerates grooming well but sheds heavily, as expected for his breed.   Personality and Social SkillsBruce is friendly and social, approaching both familiar and unfamiliar people with ease. He enjoys attention and does not mind being handled, including being picked up under his belly. He is especially gentle with children under 13 and appreciates their company. With other dogs, he is generally well-mannered. He greets new dogs politely but does not always engage in play. If another dog initiates conflict, he may respond, so introductions to unfamiliar dogs should be handled with care. His response to cats is unknown, as he has not been tested around them.   Energy and ActivitiesBruce has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities but settles down calmly afterward. He walks well on a leash, though he may pull at times. He is confident in urban environments and is not easily startled by sudden noises. He loves car rides, is able to get in and out of the car on his own, and enjoys looking out the window or resting during trips.   Training and HabitsBruce is crate-trained and remains calm in a kennel. He primarily relieves himself outdoors and may mark in new environments, which can be managed with training. He does not exhibit separation anxiety and rarely barks. When it comes to food, he does not guard his meals from people but may growl softly if another dog approaches while he is eating. He is not overly possessive, but he can sometimes hold onto objects in his mouth and may need continued "leave it" training.   Ideal HomeBruce would do well in a home that can provide him with regular outdoor exercise and a cool, comfortable environment. He enjoys human companionship and would benefit from a family that appreciates his affectionate nature. He could live with other dogs if introductions are managed carefully.   Special NotesBruce is an affectionate, social dog who loves attention and companionship. He is well-adjusted to various environments and is confident on walks and car rides. While he does not show aggression, he may need continued training in resource guarding and leash manners.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Bruce's YouTube Playlist ##2304847##
