Bruno is a dinky (6kg) 8yr old jack russell boy, he is castrated, microchipped, fully vaccinated and had a dental, he has a clean bill of health and will be rehomed with 5 weeks free pet insurance.
Bruno needed some help after his elderly owner got taken into care and he had no one to look after him, he had a sheltered start to life never leaving a flat before his last owner took him on around 18 months ago and he can be nervous of new people and situations but he comes around quickly.
Bruno has settled into his foster home really well, he was absolutely delighted to see other friendly dogs and really does love running around with them and being part of the pack. His typical terrier side shows itself if anyone has a pop at him which is understandable but otherwise he is good with other dogs and would definitely benefit from sharing his new home with another friendly, confident, neutered dog.
Bruno needs a jack russell experienced home who understand and are used to their tenacity, he is a busy, active and lively boy who loves his long walks and he loves a good run in our enclosed paddock. He can be strong on the lead and will chew through a fabric lead so a light chain lead onto a well fitting harness works best for him.
His nervousness means he can be wary and vocal when meeting strangers and he will back but he has never bitten, its all just fear. This also displays in the vets but again he has never been aggressive, just overwhelmed and nervous. More positive exposure and correct socialisation will help massively with this but new owners need to be prepared to put some work in with this and not expect the perfect dog.
Once he gets over that initial wariness he is a really sweet lad, he loves being on your lap or asleep at your feet and gives very sweet kisses. He is a real cutie.
Bruno does still scent mark in the home as he is only recently castrated and was used to being in a flat, but overall his toileting is going well now. He will need access to a nice safe garden to play in and to help with this.
He travels ok in the car, he has slept downstairs quietly with the other dogs at night and is ok being left for a few hours. He loves his food and is eating well, he has no food aggression with people or other dogs. He is very playful and loves his ball and toys.
He will bark at cats so needs a feline free home and would be suitable for an adult only household or possibly one with teenagers. Smaller visiting children would be ok if introduced and supervised properly. He needs a home with people who are young, fit and active enough to keep up with him and provide him with the level of exercise and stimulation he needs.
Being fostered in Swadlincote, Derby's but can be rehomed further afield subject to home check and adoption donation of £250
