BRUTUS - GREAT DANE / GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Great Dane / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Brutus is a 12-year-old senior gentleman who has just joined rescue and is settling into his foster home after experiencing a big life change, his beloved owner passed away, which sadly landed Brutus at the impound through no fault of his own. While everything is still new to him, one thing is already very clear: Brutus is ready for a cozy bed, a comfy couch, and a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years. Despite being a senior, Brutus still has plenty of zest for life and a nice little spark of energy in him. He enjoys moving around, being part of the action, and reminding everyone that age is truly just a number. In his foster home, Brutus is living peacefully with other dogs, cats, and children (ages 8 and 13), and he’s doing wonderfully with everyone. He isn’t phased by cats at all and has shown himself to be an easygoing, sweet companion. Brutus is incredibly affectionate and loves nothing more than gently placing his big head in your lap for some love. He’s also fully potty trained, which makes him an easy addition to any home. If you’re looking for a calm, loving senior pup who will happily keep you company, while still having some pep left in his step, Brutus may be your perfect match and is so ready to be someone’s best friend Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and rec ommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Brutus is from a local impound.
