Staff at The Lost Dogs’ Home and the National Pet Register would be millionaires if they got a dollar for every time they heard an owner explain that their pet doesn’t go anywhere without them, that they are always inside or in a secure yard.

What does a dog have to do to find a new home?

Loved by all the staff at the Home, Bruce has many attractive qualities. He is outgoing, friendly and we believe he would make a loyal and loving companion.

We think Bruce would happily fit in with a family or be that special mate to someone living alone. Like most dogs he needs lots of regular exercise and mental stimulation to stop him from becoming bored and destructive. Companionship, a good selection of toys and a routine walk and run in the park would keep Bruce happy.
