bronte

Bronte is a 6-year-old, medium-sized sweetheart (48 lbs) who is already altered and ready to go home today. He’s a calm, easygoing companion who truly enjoys taking life at a relaxed pace. On walks, Bronte strolls along nicely on leash with his nose to the ground, happily soaking in all the scents, making him a wonderful partner for leisurely, low-pressure walks.Bronte prefers a gentle approach and shows his sweet nature with soft tail wags when you get down to his level. He knows “sit,” loves treats, and is clearly food-motivated and happy to engage. He comes up to people willingly, enjoys attention, and flashes the best, happiest smiles. Bronte would be a great match for an adopter who appreciates a mellow, happy dog and is looking for peaceful companionship and easy, sniffy walks.Bronte recently spent time in a temporary foster home, where he proved himself to be an incredibly loving, happy boy and a truly wonderful house guest. He is housebroken and settles nicely into a home routine. Bronte loves being outside and enthusiastically sniffing everything—fire hydrants and trees are favorites. On leash, he is very well behaved, checks in regularly with his walker, and makes walks a joy.When it comes to affection, Brontë shines. He gives the sweetest grin when receiving pets, proudly showing off his little “toofies.” He loves treats and takes them gently from an open palm, with a special fondness for steak (he clearly has excellent taste). Indoors, Brontë is calm and content, happily lying beside you while you work and resting his head on your leg to request a head-scratch tax. At bedtime, he prefers any soft, cozy pad to curl up on.Bronte has met other dogs at the shelter, he can be a little overwhelmed at first and does best with polite and gentle friends.Overall, Bronte is a gentle, affectionate, and easygoing companion who would make a fantastic addition to a loving home.
