Adopter: Tice Family
Date adopted: January 2022

“We (our entire) family is absolutely obsessed with our little guy! Bruce is now “Baxter Manuel Tice”, and he is the perfect addition to our family. I think he has only had 1 accident in the house and that was the first day. He is eating well, loves playing with all his toys, and he LOVES our other two dogs. He is especially close with Harper who thinks he is her son.
He let us pick him up after about a week. He still doesn’t love it, but he doesn’t fight it. We smother him with kisses constantly, and he pretends not to love that but I know he does. He even gave me a kiss today! He is the best dog, and we are so lucky to have him. I can’t imagine why anyone would desert him, but we are so glad he gets to be a part of our family.”
