Meet Bruno, a handsome 3-year-old Boxer-German Shepherd mix who has a lot going for him—and he’s hoping the right family will notice.

Weighing around 64 pounds, Bruno is an intelligent, affectionate dog currently waiting for his forever home while staying in foster care.

He already knows several commands, including sit, lie down, and shake, making it clear that this clever pup enjoys learning and showing off what he knows.

But Bruno’s good manners don’t stop there.

His foster family says he’s gentle when accepting treats, never grabbing them roughly. That’s a small detail, but it says plenty about the kind of companion he can be when given patience, structure, and love.

Bruno has also shown that he can handle busy environments surprisingly well.

During the Flower Festival Parade, he encountered plenty of people and other dogs without barking at them along the route. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by all the activity, he remained calm and composed.

Now, Bruno is waiting for the person who will see beyond his kennel status and recognize the wonderful companion he could become.

He isn’t just looking for someone to take him home.

He’s looking for a family ready to give him the attention, exercise, companionship, and continued training he deserves.

For anyone searching for a smart, capable, and loving canine companion, Bruno could be an exciting match.

His adoption includes important veterinary care, including neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, flea treatment, and a health and wellness examination.

Bruno has already learned how to sit, shake, and lie down.

Now, there’s just one command he needs someone to teach him:

“You’re home.”
