Bruno Chocolate Labrador Retriever & German Shepherd Dog Mix Batson, TX

Bruno is a loving protective dog but he is also a certified "man hater", just kidding, he's man selective and very picky about the males he tolerates in his life. Bruno is the perfect "scary dog privilege" companion for a lady, he'll guard your home and keep you safe on walks. He loves to cuddle, have a snack, or get some exercise with his human. He also loves toys. He gets along with female dogs that match his size, energy, and tackle football play style.

Story: Bruno was euth listed in a crowded city shelter at about 12 weeks old along with the rest of his littermates. He was pulled by a rescue and adopted out roughly a year later. The adopter was told he got along well with other dogs and all people which unfortunately not the case. Bruno decided that his adopters brother didn't make the cut of men that will be tolerated, this wasn't detrimental because the brother works out of town and hardly ever came home so they just kept Bruno put away when brother was visiting. The adopter also had another neutered male dog and he and Bruno did mostly okay together for a while, not great as they couldn't play with toys with the both of them and they needed to be fed separately but again, manageable. The adopter booked a board and train for the two boys together and they did wonderful and were awesome when they returned home for a few months. One night the boys snapped and got into an awful fight that was difficult to break up. At a breaking point the adopter reached out to his original rescue to see if they could take him back into their program and they declined. The boys have lived in a "crate and rotate" situation for about a year now and it just isn't fair to either of them so we are posting sweet Bruno in an attempt to give him and his housemate the lives they deserve.
