05 • Dog of the Month for June – Bruce Meet Bruce!
me…This gorgeous American Pitbull was left behind by his owners when they moved away. Thankfully neighbours called Care for Dogs to inform them of his plight. Bruce is very friendly with people, but dominant with other dogs, and therefore would best suit a home where he can rule the roost and preferably fly solo…
He is about 3-4 years old and recently sterilised. Because of his dominant personality a life at the shelter will not be easy for him or other dogs so we would like to see him in a loving home as soon as possible.
If you think Bruce could be the right one for you – contact the shelter English (084 752 5255) or Thai language (086 913 8701) to make an appointment to meet him, e-mail: contact@carefordogs.org or visit the website for further information.
