What’s more appealing about Bruin: his beautiful brindle coat, or the way one ear flops over while the other stands tall? Both! This three-year-old, 60-pound pup certainly has a look all his own—and a body that doesn’t quite match. He’s built low to the ground, making him a short king with a big presence and an even bigger personality.

Bruin is potty trained and does just fine left out when home alone—no crate needed. He’s super smart and already knows sit, down, and touch. He picks up on routines quickly and would love a family who enjoys teaching new tricks or keeping his mind busy. Bruin is the perfect blend of playful and chill, and his happy-go-lucky energy is contagious.

If you toss a toy, he’ll definitely want to play—but fair warning, he’s not big on giving it back. He loves belly rubs, rolling around like a goofball, and being part of the action. Whether he’s showing off his skills or just being his adorable, low-riding self, Bruin is ready to charm his way into your heart and home.
