BRUNO - LHASA APSO / YORKSHIRE TERRIER YORKIE / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Lhasa Apso / Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Bruno! This little guy came to us after his owner sadly passed away. He was quite confused when he arrived but has now settled in nicely. Bruno loves people. He loves to be near you, on you, next to you, being held by you and generally soak up all your love and attention. He is a happy little guy and he loves going for walks. When you are at home, he will curl up on the couch with you. Bruno has only two challenges: He does not do well with other dogs, especially males. He lived with a female dog before but that did not seem to be a healthy dynamic. He walks well on a leash and as long as other dogs leave him alone and don't get in his face, he is just fine. He will need to be the only dog in the home. The second challenge is that Bruno is not fully potty trained. He was not neutered when he arrived with us and this led to quite a bit of marking. He is now fixed and this will reduce the marking significantly. However, since he has been allowed to do this for so long in his previous home, it has become a habit for him and this will need work. We recommend using a belly band in the home to prevent accidents until he can learn to reliably go potty outside. He pees in the most hilarious way - a little handstand on his front leg and lifts both back legs in the air at the same time. Quite the circus trick. Bruno is a sweetie and clearly losing his owner has been hard for him. He can be nervous at times when he feels uncertain but he gets over it pretty quickly. He was very matted when he arrived with us but did beautifully at the groomer and now looks very spiffy. We recommend Bruno for a home without children at this time. Bruno is vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.
