About Bruno
🐾❤️ MEET BRUNO – OUR TINY BOY WITH A HEART OF GOLD ❤️🐾
Meet Bruno, the cutest little Maltese boy weighing just 4.5kg, who came into our care after his owner was no longer able to care for him.
Bruno is quite possibly one of the sweetest little boys you could ever meet. 🥹❤️
He is a very calm, placid and docile little soul who simply loves affection and being close to his humans. Bruno is also incredibly quiet and doesn’t bark at all. He isn’t bothered by other dogs, but he is equally happy enjoying his own company. He really is such an easygoing little gentleman.
Bruno loves his meals and always looks forward to mealtimes. 🥰
Sadly, Bruno came into our care with some health concerns. He has a head tilt to one side and a curved spine, although he does not appear to be in pain. X-rays have been taken, and he also has a few other medical issues. Please contact us directly if you would like more information about Bruno’s health.
❤️ WE ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY SPECIAL HOME FOR BRUNO. ❤️
We hope to find Bruno a loving, compassionate family who will cherish him for the little treasure he is and give him all the extra love, gentle care and cuddles he deserves.
We want Bruno to enjoy his days surrounded by love, comfort and kindness for as long as he continues to have a good quality of life. We understand that adopting a dog with health concerns is a special commitment, and we are looking for someone who understands this and is prepared to put Bruno’s needs first.
Bruno may be tiny in size, but his heart is enormous. He has so much love to give, and we hope there is someone out there who will open their heart and home to this beautiful little boy. ❤️
He deserves to know what it feels like to be truly cherished, to have a warm and loving home, and to receive all the cuddles his little heart desires.
🐾 Could you be the special person Bruno is waiting for? 🐾
If you believe you can offer Bruno the loving and secure home he deserves and the care he needs, please help us get to know you by completing our pre-adoption questionnaire below (Please understand that completing the questionnaire does not guarantee adoption. We carefully consider each application to ensure the home is the right match for the individual dog):
1. Have you thoroughly read through Bruno’s profile and are you fully aware of his adoption fee?
Q2. Do you understand that our animals’ adoption fees help support PFPRI with veterinary and medical expenses, as well as the ongoing care of all rescued animals in our care?
Please note that the adoption fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Do you agree?

Adoption details
PFPRI Adoption Process
Please read our adoption process carefully before submitting an enquiry.
1. Pre-Adoption Screening
All applicants are required to complete our pre-adoption screening questionnaire when submitting an enquiry. This helps us understand your household, lifestyle and suitability for the animal you are interested in adopting.
2. Meet & Greet
After reviewing the responses, the most suitable candidates will be contacted to arrange a meet & greet with the animal.
3. Adoption Application
Following a successful meet & greet, shortlisted applicants will be invited to complete our formal application to adopt.
4. Adoption Approval & Payment
Once the adoption application has been approved, the full adoption fee must be paid within 24 hours to secure the adoption.
5. Adoption & Pick-Up
Pick-up of the adopted animal can be arranged once the adoption fee has been received and the adoption has been confirmed.
6. 14-Day Trial Period
We offer a 14-day trial period to help ensure the adoption is the right fit for both the animal and the family.
If the adoption proves unsuitable during the trial period, the animal may be returned to PFPRI and the adoption fee will be fully refunded, provided the animal is returned in healthy condition.
Our priority is always to ensure that every rescued animal is placed into a safe, loving and suitable forever home.
