His story: Owned by a young lad who loved, but had no time for him. His father resented his presence and became his main 'carer' / abuser. Bruno was restricted to the lad's bedroom, irregularly fed and subject to shouting and physical abuse, then dumped in the local pound. Fostered since Aug 08 Bruno has come a long way in terms of healing, confidence and skill building.

Salient points: Requires dog experienced family to continue skill foundation. Needs another confident dog as role model. A secure garden/exit regime and low dog density exercise location. Could live with older children. The man in his life would have to be committed, aware and a true dog lover. Inclusive family i.e. sleeps in bedroom.

Advert: Bruno is a beautiful Shepherd x Collie in his late teens - born Jun 2007. Bruno had a shocking start suffering , inconsistent messages, neglect and abuse. Now behind him, he has learned to trust and built loving and stable relationships with his foster dad, mum and foster dog siblings. Bruno has been living with 3 large dogs and learned to trust the dynamics of a pack. Recently had 7 pups to be fansinated and enthralled by. Housetrained, 'treat' trained and respectful of boundaries. Bruno is a loving intimate dog who enjoys his cuddles, sits expectantly climbing onto the sofa when invited. Bruno now shares attention, treats and space well with other dogs. He is good in the car and walks well around streets on a short lead. Outside in open spaces he can demonstrate concern with other dogs and so temporarily wears a muzzle to ensure social contact can be maintained as he learns to trust and not to observe approaching dogs as a threat.

Bruno requires at least one other low-maintenance, accomplished dog companion. Bruno also needs a dog sensitive male owner who can continue to develop the trust and further healing. He needs to be central and inclusive within his new family, i.e. in the bedroom and exits managed securely; garden fences in good repair and substantial. Loving reassurance will enable Bruno to come further into himself as an emergent adult dog. Bruno has so much to offer in return. In his foster home he is a model dog who is subservient to other pack members, loving and caring towards his family members. He shares his space well and is very forgiving if put in his place by another. Loyal he is, affectionate he is and so, so worthy.
