Success Stories:
Bruce (aka Donny)

 May 7, 2004 - June 21, 2004 

Bruce is a young Vizsla/Lab mix pup, approximately 9 months old. He is a typical puppy in that he just wants to have fun and not have any rules. While being fostered at my home, he had a lot of distractions and did mostly what he wanted to do. I have several Vizslas of my own, so there were many distractions. I also live in the country and there are many rabbits that go through my property. One day he discovered a gate that he didn’t know was there. When my husband went through the gate, Bruce was through it before you could spit and after a rabbit he spotted. It was quite a chore getting him back in the yard, since he didn’t think calling his name meant he was supposed to come to us. From then on we couldn’t keep him in the fenced yard; he had to be on a long line.

Paige filled out an adoption application, passed the home check and came out to meet Bruce. She was the second one to meet him. Paige brought her roommate and a friend. I think Paige fell in love with him then and there.

Since I was making a trip to Salt Lake to transport Rocky & Adrianne, I asked Paige if she would like to baby sit Bruce and try him out and she came and picked him up. When I got back, I called her and she said everything was working out fine, there were a few incidents that were worked out and she loved him and wanted to keep him. Paige is a small college girl and Bruce is a big, 71# puppy. I told her, let’s give it till the end of the week and see how things go.

Well here they are, a new family. She really has him under control and going to consult a trainer.

Donny (now Bruce) overcame some large hurdles and almost didn’t make it out of my home. I didn’t think he was going to calm down and be adoptable. Just shows what a little patience can do.

Paige says that when she does allow him in bed with her, he curls up under the covers. How cute is that? - Rita
