Hey there! My name is Bruce Waggis and I have a question for you - can I be your dog?!? You would never know by looking at my happy pics but 2023 was not a great year for me. I was in the shelter, underweight with a bad skin infection, scared and shut down from the world. But NRGRR saved me and gave me a second chance 

Here are some things you should know about me:

• I need a family who is dedicated and patient in helping me overcome my fears. I am shy and timid in new surroundings. Just recently my foster family took me to Lowes and I started to feel comfortable to walk and sniff around!

• I prefer walking in the woods or trail. I'm also learning to walk in the neighborhood and cars are not as scary anymore.  

• I'm unsure of new people and learning to trust. The other day my foster family took me to Bond Brother's Brewery and I got to meet a lot of nice people who all had treats for me! Little kids might be too scary for me so only older children or no children homes for me. 

• I love to eat and love carrots. I get so excited during meal times and will go to my spot and wait patiently for you to bring my food.

• I love toys but playing ball is my jam! I prefer this over walking.

• I need a fenced-in yard so I can play ball - I'm really good at bringing it back and I’m working on dropping it. I am a great catcher too!

• I'm ok with other dogs and currently live with a smaller dog in my foster home but do best with smaller dogs or dogs who are really calm and not up in my face.  

• I am not a fan of the crate and don't need one; I am trustworthy and don’t chew on things except my toys.

• I don't ask for much [except to play ball]. I'm a homebody and love being at home with you. If you want to watch TV I will be content to snuggle on the couch with you. 

So what do you think - can I be your BFF?  I am ready whenever you are!
