About this Dog
Age: 2 years Sex: Neutered male Estimated Breed: Bully X Weight: 55 lbs Good with dogs?: Possibly, but would be better as an only dog Good with cats?: No Good with children?: Older children Special/Medical Needs: No Energy Level: Low to medium Adoption Fee: $650 Foster Home Location: Near Sundre, AB Big Bruno isn't that big, weighing in at about 55 lbs. He is an all-around great dog with tons of personality and is super affectionate. He is a very attentive dog that looks to his people for assurance and validation, he craves attention and loves to snuggle. Big Bruno is a people dog. He does like his doggy siblings and enjoys a good romp in the yard, but he prefers to be glued to his person's side, then out with the pack. When it comes to other dogs, he displays some rude puppy-like behavior, pushing them around with his body, and he likes to play rough with hard-hitting chase and wrestle, so any fur siblings should be around his size or bigger. However, 9/10 times you can find him sunbathing rather than chasing. Big Bruno has developed reactivity and possessiveness, directed towards the other large male dog in the house. We think he should be the only dog in the house, or may be ok with submissive females. His family should be committed to working with him on his possessive behaviors. He has reacted when the other male dog was near his' crate, dish, and favorite people, or when the energy level in the home was too high. If you have other animals, dinner time should be monitored or separated. He has shown some resource guarding when it comes to food (we feed him separately). Big Bruno does not live with children, but he has been around them and was ok/not stressed by their presence. He really loves our 10 yr old nephew, and we think he would be ok with older kids in the house. Because of his food obsession and possessive nature, he probably shouldn't be with small kids in case he decides something is his'. He has a gentle mouth and takes treats softly, but if there is competition from another dog, he reacts poorly, which could lead to nipped fingers. When it comes to other animals, he does have a moderate prey drive. He has only been exposed to outdoor cats, so unsure how he would be with cats inside the home. We are on an acreage with chickens/rabbits/cats, and he has shown too much interest to be left unleashed with them. Best he isn't in a home with other small critters. This love bug came to us with no manners or training, just a goofy and pleasing personality. In a short while he has learned so much! With time and patience, he could really be the Top Dog! He learned sit' on day 2, which quickly led to training his inhibition control with dinner time and thresholds. He will sit and stay and wait for OK before eating or walking through a doorway. He is crate trained to perfection! He loves his crate, walks in by himself when asked, and has been left in it for up to 6 hrs with no issue or destructive behavior. He is house trained, but when he has to go - he has to go! His asks' are subtle, so you have to pay attention. Bell training at the door would be a good idea. Oh ya, and the most important thing - he walks like a total gem on a leash! He is intrigued by birds, cats, squirrels, but not enough to take you for a ride on the other end of the leash. He does, however, need some help correcting his reaction to cyclists, and he is fearful of cars, so it is best that he isn't walked in busy neighborhoods with lots of traffic to start. He has been on our acreage mostly, with some outings to the city, so he is not as familiar with city life and should be given time and patience to get used to all the sights and sounds. He does get over-stimulated with too much people/dogs, so his people need to help manage his surroundings and make sure he isn't pushed passed his comfort level. He is at home on his foster's acreage and enjoys the country life, but could easily be a city dog. He only barks when he is playing, and is quiet in his crate. We think he would be fine in a condo setting, but would be best with separate entrances, because we are unsure of his interactions with other dogs in close quarters. Ok, now that you have read this far, it is time to tell you the things he needs to work on. But remember how smart we told you he is? These quirks should be corrected in no time! He hasn't yet understood that the counter is not for puppy paws - don't leave dinner out to thaw and expect it to be there when you get home from work! He is bathroom trained, however, he doesn't have a clear ask', if you aren't paying attention, he may have an accident. Training with a bell at the door would be a great idea! And lastly, he isn't a destructive dog, but he has had to test his boundaries - one ottoman down, but that is it! He was told no' and has never chewed on anything again! Any family would be so lucky to have Big Bruno in their lives, he has so much love to give. Big Bruno deserves a family where he is the center of attention and someone's whole world, he truly is the sweetest dog.

Adopt Big Bruno and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Big Bruno's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Big Bruno's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Big Bruno, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Big Bruno's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Big Bruno was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Big Bruno’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Big Bruno’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Big Bruno’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
