Bruce is a friendly, affectionate chap, looking for an adult home as your only pet. He’s partially deaf but you’ll just need to use visual cues and be vigilant to keep him safe. You’ll need a garden and access to quiet walks where Bruce won’t meet lots of dogs.
Category: Adopt An Oldie
Please also consider our Overlooked Oldies- the dogs who have been patiently waiting for new homes longest of all. They desperately need homes of their own! You can submit an oldie for listing by our site editors here .
We also have some non-oldie dogs who need very special homes due to mental or physical problems, listed in Other Special Dogs Needing Homes. Please consider them!
If you are planning to adopt a dog and already own cats, you may want to read our article Dogs and Cats.
