BRUCE | PIT BULL | MALE | 10-12 YEARS | 75 LBS
Bruce is a male pitbull approximately 11 years of age. He is neutered, vaccinated, and weighs 75 pounds. Bruce is very well mannered and gentle. He gets along well with our three cats, regularly attends dog parks, and has never had any behavioral issues with another person or animal. Bruce was found wandering around an abandoned lot and taken in by a family friend. Because his original owners could not be located, we agreed to give him a new home. He has been a wonderful addition to the family. Unfortunately, our work schedules and newborn baby leave us without time and money to properly care for him.
Bruce has been a very fit and healthy dog for most of his life, but his joints are starting to hurt in his old age. He is taking gabapentin and carprofen for his rear knee and hip pain. He’ll be on these medications long term and they cost $50 per month to fill. He had blood work done in January to confirm he can still receive his prescriptions, and he’ll need to be rechecked in six months to a year. He was treated for mast cell cancer about six years ago and hasn't had any recurrent tumors. He also has a bump on his side which has not grown for several years now.
He loves going on walks and his joints currently allow him to go for about a half mile easily. He’ll want to go further but will need to take it slow or he’ll end up exacerbating his joint pain. He plays great with other dogs and has been to the dog park many times. He will play through his joint pain if you let him, which will cause a decrease in mobility for a couple days afterwards. He has a very gentile temperament and is a very sweet dog. He’s never shown any aggression to another animal or human. He doesn’t even show interest in chasing wild rabbits or squirrels. He almost never barks and will pace around if he needs to go outside. He also doesn’t usually bark to come back inside, and will just wait patiently by the door. He doesn't like being in a crate and we haven't had any reason to keep him in a crate. Other than his joints, he seems to be a healthy dog that will probably live for a few more years. We would love to keep Bruce, but we have a newborn and are moving into an apartment. Please help us find a good home for Bruce to live out his golden years.
