Bruno

My story

Bruno is a sweet 3–4-year-old Shih Tzu–Maltese mix who loves soaking up your love! Weighing about 12 pounds, he’s the perfect size for couch snuggles or riding along on errands. Bruno is house-trained, crate-trained, and a polite little gentleman in the car and in stores. At home, Bruno thrives on being close to his people. He loves snuggling on the couch, proudly parading around with his favorite stuffed toys, and going for short walks. When let outside, he decides he needs to go back inside to grab a toy to bring outside with him! And he loves trying to sip from the sprinkler while you water the grass. He enjoys playtime but doesn’t need long walks to wear himself out. A bit of exercise and some attention are all he needs before he’s ready to settle in for naps and cuddles.Bruno enjoys playing with other dogs but will not be able to live in a home with other dogs as he can become a bit jealous or display guarding behavior. He wants all your love to himself! He does not have much experience living with cats or children, so a slow introduction is recommended.Bruno would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can soak up affection, continue working on his training, and feel secure and adored. If you’re looking for a goofy sweetheart with a big personality in a little body, Bruno may be the perfect match!If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.
