Meet Bruce
Gentle boy looking for a calm, understanding home 🤍
Bruce is a sweet and thoughtful boy who is still building confidence in new situations. He enjoys getting out for quiet sniffy walks and taking the world in at his own pace.
Bruce can be a little unsure when meeting new dogs and prefers calm interactions. He may be happiest as the only dog in the home.
Bruce also has reduced vision in one eye, which can make him a little cautious at times, so he appreciates gentle, predictable interactions and people who allow him to approach things at his own pace.
With patience, kindness and a calm environment, Bruce is a lovely companion who will enjoy spending time with his people and exploring the world together.
Suitable for calm, dog-savvy children 13+
How our Adoption Process Works
Step 1) Preparation
Read our Adoption Philosophy and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online, review our dog sociability matrix and then complete an adoption questionnaire.
Step 3) ADOPTION
7 DAYS A WEEK: Walk ins welcome for adoption interviews between 11am-3pm! Our gates remain open until 4pm, but we conclude our adoption interviews at 3pm so we have time to take the dogs out, feed them and get them ready for bedtime.
During quieter periods, we will also do our best to review online applications, but unfortunately cannot get back to every applicant, especially for more ‘popular’ dogs. If you agree with our adoption philosophies and are ready to adopt- please do not wait for us to contact you after submitting a questionnaire.
PUPPIES & DOGS IN FOSTER CARE: If you are particularly interested in a young puppy or a dog that is currently in foster care, please indicate this on your questionnaire. Young puppies will not be on site here at the Refuge as it is much more beneficial for them to remain in foster care until their adoption. For dogs and puppies that are not on site, we will review online applications and get in touch with suitable homes to arrange a meet and greet.
