This handsome boy is Bruce, and he is a 6-year-old Jack Russel.
Bruce can be wary of the big wide world and finds it overwhelming at times.
He much prefers quiet walks with his trusted companions and values quality time with them – once Bruce has built a bond with you, you will have a friend for life!
His best friend at the Sanctuary is Tana the Shih Tzu, and they love going for quiet afternoon strolls together where they can take in the scenery and all the interesting smells.
Bruce is comfortable wearing his muzzle when out on walks and can easily take treats through the gaps when working on learning new skills with the staff.
In his downtime, he loves playing with toys and has become quite the collector! – he will often inspect our donation bin for more to add to his collection.
He also enjoys daily naps in his comfortable bed and, like many of us, prefers to be undisturbed while sleeping.
It would be beneficial to provide Bruce with a quiet area in his new home to place his bed.
He is incredibly clever and loves learning new tricks! – he knows sit, paw, down, and hand touch – he has also trained people to let them know he would like attention by gently tapping you with his paw.
Bruce is looking for a home that can work with some behavioural issues he has developed throughout his life due to stress and not giving him the space and time he needs.
He can be quite fearful of strangers and men and will need time to come out of his shell, build confidence and trust in his new home.
Do you have room in your heart and your home for a shy guy like Bruce? If so, please get in touch with us if you would like more information or to book an appointment with the rehoming team.
Questions.. Questions.. We know there’s a fair few. But, the more information we can gather from you now, the quicker we can match you to this pet or another one. A few minutes of your time now will also allow us to spend more time with the animals when you come to the sanctuary.
Your generous contributions make a huge difference to the animals we care for and also helps us to continue our work & success.
