  — Sarah B.

• “Hi my name is Bruin I am 6 I find a lot of other people and dogs scary and don’t like being around anyone outside my house. I am a sweet guy my mom says just fearful even with a couple trainers I had. I’d like to explore and have fun with just my family.“

  — Lori l.

• “Oh, hello! I like finding little animals hiding on my farm and trying to capture them for my owner. I love exploring the woods and eating any deer or rabbit poop I find. My family is very important to me and I like it best when we are all together. I really dislike hot weather, swimming, and crates. I LOVE the snow and being outside if the weather is cool. Matt is my best friend and I usually do whatever he says. One time, we went to a weird place and I passed a test. Everyone said I was a good citizen after that. I guess I am, if you're not a small non-canine animal.“

  — Matt S.

• “Bruin is a very curious of people, dogs, the ground and loves the attention, doggy. We adopted him from a lady who rescued him from a home where he was left in the basement in his crate for most of his life. He is a huge cuddle bug and loves to sleep at just about any time of the day, but he does love to go outside and go for walks while he just sniffs and sniffs lol! He has caught mice hiding in our bushes in the backyard and is a great hunter as he is a Rottweiler/Coonhound mix. He is also wonderful with our 2 Ferrets in the house. He will be reactive as in he will bark and growl if another male dog barks at him or tries to dominate over him but great with female dogs. He loves to meet people though and take to our new female puppy ASAP.“
