About this Dog
It breaks our hearts to write this, but we’re looking for a new home for our 5-year-old Labradoodle, Bruce. We got him from a breeder, and he’s been a cherished member of our family ever since—growing up alongside two adults, three young children, and even a cat. He’s everything you'd want in a companion: fun-loving, goofy, deeply affectionate, and full of energy. He’s amazing with kids and gentle with our cat. He does great at the groomer, with the vet, and when boarded. However, he struggles with anxiety around unfamiliar people entering the house. He's bitten twice—both times when someone entered before we had the chance to crate him. Because of this, we know he needs a quieter home with someone experienced, patient, and committed to managing introductions carefully. This decision comes from a place of love. He means the world to us, and we want him to thrive in a home where he can feel secure and fully himself. He’ll do best in a stable household, ideally with someone familiar with reactive dogs and able to give him the structure he needs.

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.
$14 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!
