Bruno was rescued, along with his Sister Sissy , from the Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter. Bruno and his sister were both Heartworm positive but have gone through and completed treatment. Bruno is very playful and affectionate with no signs of aggression. His foster dad says he acts puppy-like for a 2 year old.

Bruno was kept as an outside dog and did not receive HW preventative or vet care but showed no signs of abuse. He needed house training, which his foster dads have given him. Bruno is great with other dogs, babies, kids and people.  He is very bonded with his sister Sissy and MUST BE ADOPTED WITH HER as a bonded pair since he depends so much on her.
