Brutus

Brutus is a very loving Rottweiller/Mastiff mix who is 5 years old and weighs 114 lbs – he’s a big boy! He is up to date on vaccines and is housebroken. His owner adopted him last year. Unfortunately, due to the current economic crisis, things have changed and she cannot keep him. She is heartbroken.

Brutus loves children, cats and dogs. He’s been around all ages of children, including a 2 year old and has always been a perfect gentleman. In his former home, he lived with a small female dog and loved her, and has also lived with a large female dog. He has also lived with cats.

Every Wednesday Brutus enjoys a trip to the local Assisted Living facility where he enjoys being doted on by the elderly folks. Brutus is not much of a guard dog but will bark when people come to the door.

Brutus is a big boy and can counter surf easily – and does! He is very good on leash but too strong for a child to walk. He does pull when he sees something he wants to see – like another dog or person. He is very gentle and is not food-aggressive in the slightest.

He is more o f a couch potato and prefers to sit on the sofa next to you. He is laid back and is looking for a family who is not overly active, as he can get tired when walking. He is extremely affectionate and enjoys just being near his loved ones and a good belly scratch. He also loves to give kisses.

Brutus suffers from Addison's disease which affects his adrenal gland. Brutus currently gets a shot once a month to keep it under control. Brutus needs a forever home that is capable and willing to take on his medical expenses which are appx $140 per month (at my vet). If you are interested in Brutus, please talk to your vet about what Addison’s Disease is and how to handle this chronic condition.
