About this Dog
Prepare to fall in love with Bruce, a truly magnificent German Shepherd/Lab blend (best guess) with a heart as grand as his spirit! This distinguished gentleman, found as a local Iowa County stray, is an estimated 9-year-old senior who embodies resilience and a loving, gentle nature. Bruce is a sturdy boy, weighing around 65 pounds - with a handsome, shiny black and tan coat that tells tales of a life well-lived. Despite facing some challenges, Bruce navigates the world through his gentle, loyal demeanor. He appears to have limited eyesight, possibly some hearing loss, and diminished responses in his hind legs - but these challenges sure don't stop him from enjoying life to the fullest. He relies on his keen sense of smell and the gentle guidance of his people, learning routines and adapting to new surroundings with patience and positive reinforcement. Bruce is a gentle soul who adores human companionship. He loves to be near his people, whether it's for a quiet cuddle on the couch, a leisurely sniff-walk in a familiar, safe environment, or just a comforting hand on his fur. He's incredibly affectionate and expresses his joy by leaning in for more pets. Because of his special needs, Bruce would thrive in a calm, predictable, and loving home. An environment with minimal stairs, consistent furniture placement, and a securely fenced yard would be ideal for him to safely explore. He would be best suited for an adult-only home or one with older, respectful children who understand how to interact gently with a dog who can't see or hear well and one with physical limitations too. He would also do wonderfully as an only dog or with a very calm, understanding canine companion. If you have a quiet home and an abundance of love to share, Bruce promises to return it tenfold. He's looking for a compassionate family to cherish his golden years, offering him comfort, security, and the peaceful retirement he so richly deserves. If you're interested in meeting Bruce, please complete an online adoption application found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Bruce has been brought up-to-date on his vaccinations, was previously neutered, has been microchipped, and has been started on monthly flea/tick & heartworm preventatives.

Adopt Bruce and Receive Bruce's Fund
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, Bruce's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Bruce's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Bruce, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Bruce's contribution 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 contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. 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 Bruce was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Bruce’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Bruce’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, Bruce’s balance will remain in our general 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!
