Description:

Bruce is 73 lbs of love and affection! He came from a shelter and was scheduled to be euthanized but MARS got him out just in time and thank goodness, because he is just a sweetheart! His favorite pastime is chasing balls that are thrown for him to retrieve! He has learned that if he brings it back …guess what? He gets to chase it again! Oh the joy of it! . If you put a kiddie pool outside filled with water for him, he will entertain himself for a long time by going in and bringing his toys with him! He is a very smart boy. He knows how to sit on command and will give you his paw with a command of “shake”. He is learning fast how to walk properly on a leash and loves to go on walks and smell everything he can! He will readily walk into a river / lake as he enjoys water…and will do water retrieval too!

He is good with other dogs of all sizes and cats. He might be a bit too much for younger children as he doesn’t realize how big he is so he would need to be watched around them…. older children would probably be better for him to be around. He likes to go on car rides (or anywhere else for that matter) as long as he is with his “person”. He will be a very loveable, devoted companion for someone who is willing to work with him more in his obedience training and provide him a loving home.

PS. He is really afraid of fireworks, so even though he loves to retrieve, he probably would not be a good hunting dog unless someone has the training experience to help him overcome that fear.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
