Bruno

My story

**Meet Bruno: The Dapper, Playful Pup Ready for His Next Adventure** Bruno is a 2.5-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix with a zest for life and a heart full of love. Weighing 15 lbs, this handsome boy is fully grown and has a long, luxurious white coat with dapper black spots—now growing back beautifully after a much-needed shave. Bruno is currently located in Houston, Texas, and will be arriving in Seattle, Washington on **July 12th**. He is available for adoption directly from transport, but he’d also love a foster home if his forever family hasn’t scooped him up yet! To start the adoption process, visit: [www.doggedly.org/adoption-app](https://www.doggedly.org/adoption-app). Bruno came from the same heartbreaking hoarding situation as our beloved Pom Pom. In that environment, he was kept in small cages and bred for profit. His breeder initially refused to surrender him because he produced beautiful puppies, but after he was left outside in the rain and ran to a neighbor for safety, he finally got the second chance he deserved. That kind neighbor kept him safe until we could bring him into foster care with Doggedly. Since arriving in rescue, Bruno has blossomed into a joyful, energetic pup who is always up for an adventure. He’s a forever puppy at heart—smart, playful, and full of curiosity. He loves other dogs and would thrive in an active home with doggy friends and a family who will include him in their adventures. Bruno is wonderful with kids, and while he doesn’t mind cats, he’d love a feline friend who wants to play! Once Bruno’s energy is spent, he transforms into a sweet, snuggly boy who loves to curl up with his humans. He adores toys, is great at fetch, and enjoys walks where he can sniff everything along the way. Bruno is leash trained, kennel trained, and fully housebroken. He’s exceptionally intelligent, learns quickly, and bonds deeply with his people. Bruno is fully vetted—neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm negative, and current on flea prevention. He’s ready for a forever home that will shower him with the love and adventure he craves. **Adoption Requirements:** All potential adopters must complete a pre-adoption interview, submit a veterinary reference, provide personal references, and submit home check photos prior to being approved for adoption. We encourage you to apply in advance to get pre-approved and join our waiting list for adoptable cats and dogs! If you’re looking for an affectionate, playful, and endlessly joyful pup who’s ready to leave his past behind and explore the world by your side, Bruno is your guy. This sweet soul can’t wait to meet you!
