About Bruce
Bruce is a male German Shepherd, 5 years old, known for his chill and easy-going demeanor. He's a big fan of playtime with people but is equally content lounging and taking long naps by your side. As long as he gets his daily walk and quality time with his humans, Bruce is a happy camper.
Recently, Bruce has shown significant improvement in his behavior. Initially displaying barrier aggression or protective tendencies through fences, he's now friendly and relaxed, greeting people without any issues. To ensure his safety and freedom, Bruce will require secure fencing in his new home.
Bruce is a large dog, and his ideal home would have someone who understands his breed and is confident in handling larger dogs. He would appreciate some training to keep his brain engaged and to further strengthen the bond with his new family.
It's important to note that Bruce has shown a preference for female dogs, so he would prefer to be housed with a female companion. However, a meet and greet can be arranged with a male dog of the right temperament.
If you're seeking a loyal companion and are ready to provide Bruce with the love and care he deserves, he could be the perfect addition to your family.
