Hi, I’m Bruno!

The staff at the OHS call me an Explorer! Explorers are self-starters with high exercise needs who are ready to make their own itinerary for the day. They love adventure and need to keep busy, but prefer not to have to fit too much socializing into their calendar. They enjoy the companionship of select people and while they may enjoy a good belly rub from time-to-time, they are often happy to find a great spot to sit or play independently. Good daily activities include running miles with you on empty trails, joining on long distance bike rides, or chasing their ball until the sun goes down. With lots of physical and mental exercise to stay happy, an Explorer will settle into a solid relationship with you. If you're looking for a resourceful, active companion who won't need to go busy places with you, consider an Explorer!

Mental exercise is an important part of an Explorer's day. Good mental activities include using a food dispensing puzzle for meals, giving frozen treats and food-stuffed toys, mixing it up with a variety of chew toys, hiding food and toys for them to sniff out, and playing training games! These exciting activities help to work their mind and tire them out while hanging at home.

Special Considerations:

• I can become overly excited in new situations, so will require a home with kids above the age of 16.
• I am showing signs of allergies. Allergies in dogs often show up as inflamed, itchy skin and chronic/recurrent ear infections. There is no cure for allergies, and they will need to be managed lifelong with medication, special diets, and bloodwork. If my condition worsens, your veterinarian may recommend diagnostic tests to confirm the diagnosis and to provide appropriate treatment.
• This animal has had recurrent/difficult to treat ear infections called otitis externa. This is an inflammation or infection of the external ear canal. Since it is typically caused by allergies, and there is no cure for allergies, this will likely be a life-long prognosis.
• I had some ticks removed and may require some bloodwork down the line to test for disease.
• I get anxious when I am not around my loved ones, and can become vocal or destructive in response.

I am a "Foster-Me-First" adoption. You can find more information about the Foster-Me-First Program here or call 613-725-3166 ext. 258 to speak to the adoption team.
