Description:
Bruno is a white collie with a tri-colored head who had a rough start to life. He lived outdoors and came to Almost Home completely unfamiliar with home and family.
Bruno has learned a lot since he was rescued. He is housetrained and uses a doggy door. He is trustworthy in the house and understands his name. He gets along beautifully with the other dogs and a family cat, but Bruno would definitely like a family with a dog that likes to run and play as much as he does. He is only 2 years old and has “young dog” energy. Bruno is a gentle soul, but his lack of early exposure to household noises, sights and routines leaves him nervous and wary. He might flinch or run if something happens that he does not expect. In spite of those fears about his environment, he is very loving with people, enjoys curling up on the couch with his fosters and loves to be petted and scratched. He is the most confident with people when they are sitting on a chair, squatting, or on the floor with him. We know he is not the most handsome collie right now, but we think with good food and a new coat grown in spring he will be the spiffy guy he is meant to be.
Bruno is definitely making progress, but as his foster has said, “It will be a process that will take time and patience on the part of his adopted family.” He requires a fenced-in yard and an active canine sibling so he can run and play with abandon. We believe it would be best if Bruno was with a family who has had experience with dogs like himself and, if possible, someone that is often at home with him. He is blossoming, and we can hardly wait to see who he becomes.
*Note: Bruno will require a physically fenced in yard
