Brutus - ADOPTED

Brutus is a lot of dog with a lot of love! This big boy is new to the program but quickly adapts to his surroundings. He gets along well with the two resident dogs but is unsure what the cats are. He would need to be taught that the cats are to be left alone and are not squeaky toys. Because of his size I would not advise that he be placed in a house with small children. He has never shown any aggression but he does not watch where he puts his feet! He gets along great with the teenagers in the house and has especially bonded with my son. Brutus is always up for a game of fetch or Frisbee. He is a smart boy that knows his basic commands and is very obedient. He is also house trained and has not had any accidents in our house. He loves to be petted and especially loves tummy rubs. He likes car rides and going on a walk each evening but does pull if he sees something intriguing like a squirrel. Brutus is a sweet, loving dog that is eager to please. Because of this, I think he would be very trainable. I hope you consider this big guy because he has definitely won over our hearts.
