Bruttus is a 3 yr. old black 60 lb. happy, confident boy who weighs 60 lbs. He is a friendly dog with people, other dogs and cats. Bruttus is very calm and enjoys laying in the grass under a tree for shade. He knows how to sit upon command and is house trained. He would do great as an only dog but would also enjoy the companionship of another dog in the house. Bruttus needs some practice with leash manners as it does not appear that he has been on leash walks. He is the brother of Buda who was surrendered with him but can be adopted separately. Bruttus is the dog who will sit by your side on the couch enjoying time spent together and in return will show you affection as his way of thanking you.

FOSTER UPDATE
Bruttus has had a great first few days. He has been calm, cool, and collected since he’s gotten here. He is extremely mellow and never barks (other than when in the crate). He is kind and friendly towards every living thing he comes across. He just wants to love and be loved.
Bruttus is gentle with food and has not exhibited any aggression. He is very tolerant to having his paws, face, and tail touched. He does not always respond to his name, but we are working on that. We are also working on “lay down” and “stay”.
Bruttus’s leash manners have come a long way already thanks to the use of a prong collar. He does not pull as much and is learning to respond to “heel”.
He has had some trouble with crate training both at night and during the day so I took a chance with leaving him out of the crate while I was gone for about an hour. He was a complete angel and greeted me happily at the door. Because of this small win I tried keeping him out of the crate at night and once again, there were no issues.
Bruttus is the definition of a good boy. He does well as an only dog, but would benefit from a dog sibling as well. He loves to go for walks and be outside so an active family with a fenced in yard would be best for him. His next forever family will be lucky to have this sweet sweet boy as their own.
