Hello! My name is Bruno; I’m a large male of mixed breed and about 4 years old.

I’m a big strong boy, but I can be incredibly sensitive with it. I’m a wonderful boy and will have a lot of love and affection to give to the right owner.  I’ve had two operations on my right leg while I’ve been with Stokenchurch Dog Rescue, after I ruptured my cruciate ligament whilst playing with a puppy.  This has healed well, and now I happily enjoy my off- lead time in their enclosed areas – more so than going for walks. I’m good with other dogs and possibly cats but I will need a home with adults only. I enjoy having my brain mentally stimulated through activity toys and interacting with my handler.  I will do most things for food and this is a great way of building a bond with me. I react well to most dogs, although I can bark through frustration if I’m not allowed to say hello.  It is recommended that new owners attend training classes with me, not only so that I can learn more commands, but also for my confidence and social skills. Sadly, I haven’t had the best start in life, but I have grown and developed into such a wonderful dog in the time I have been in care and they would love for me to find his new forever home.  New owners will need to discuss their home set up with the team, as it’s important that I have my own space where I can feel safe when visitors enter the home.  If you have experience with large breed dogs and have space in your heart and home, then I could be the dog for you.

Can you offer me a loving and permanent new home?
