Hi, I’m Bruce! I’m a sweet and loving 4.5-year-old Sheepdog-Doodle mix. I can be a little nervous around new people and might bark at first, but I warm up quickly and will soon be begging for pets and scratches. I love school-aged kids, and while my foster mom isn’t sure if I’ve met babies or toddlers yet, she thinks I would do well with them. I’m a big boy, but I’m a lap dog at heart and will snuggle up next to you—or even try to sit in your lap—wherever you are. I’ll follow you around the house and be your best buddy. I am very smart and have been working on new skills, though I still need some time to learn things like not barking at passing cars. I love playing with other dogs and would do best in a home with a fence where I can run free, though I also do great on a tie-out. I am potty trained, but I haven't learned how to signal when I need to go outside yet. I’ve only had one accident when I wasn't let out for a long time. I sleep well in my crate and have never had an accident there; I’m also well-behaved in my crate while my foster mom is at work. I enjoy car rides and walks, though I tend to pull on the leash when I get excited, so I’ll need a little more training there. I love playing with toys and chewing on bully sticks. Because I have a poodle-type coat, I will need professional nail trims and regular grooming to prevent matting and keep me looking my best. I’m looking for a forever home with lots of love to give!   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
