BRUNA - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Bruna is a shy, sensitive gal who once opens up, has a tail that constantly wags and shows you so many ways that she loves you. Dog hugs, nose boops, and staring deep into your eyes while she enjoys ear rubs and chin scratches. Bruna is learning she's safe, and each day blossoms a bit more in foster. She's showing her affection and independent side. Bruna is potty trained, crate trained, knows basic commands such as sit, leave it, drop it, go to your bed (crate). She showed us she does not resource guard, happily sharing her treats, meals and toys with the resident dog and visiting pooches. She enjoys the company of other dogs and would do well in a home with another playful dog. She is curious about cats and squirrels but have not shown any prey drive towards them in her foster home. We believe she could get along with a dog savvy cat with proper introduction. Bruna loves squeaky toys, but that pales in comparison to tennis balls. She enjoys chasing tennis balls in the yard, and zoomies. Walking on a leash is still a work in progress. Bruna pulls on the leash as she struts down the street. She's doing better with each walk. While she enjoys walks, she's more of a home body. She does well in cars, but it doesn't bring her joy. She leaps out of the vehicle as soon as we get home and runs inside the house. Bruna is a large dog that's all legs, and one way to show her affection is by standing up and wanting to hug with her paws. Bruna is doing better learning the word Down, but we suggest a home without small children or frail elderly. Bruna doesn't mind pets from behind, but not when she's not looking. That can be scary for her. She's also leery of strangers, and barks to let us know how she feels. That's the only time we've heard her bark. Otherwise, she's quiet around the house, outside in the yard, or on leash walks. Bruna does not have separation anxiety. She is comfortable chewing on her toys in her crate for several hours during the day. She's a great companion to play with, and snuggle up on the sofa for Nexflix binging. If you're interested in learning more, please reach out to the shelter and her foster mom will happily share stories about Bruna like it's her firstborn. Check out her playgroup video here:
