Bruce Wayne 20-month-old, neutered male Lab/Shepherd mix

Background: Holy Havanese, Batman! This beautiful young Labrador mix (named "Bruce Wayne" by the Stanislaus shelter in Modesto) was found as a stray... and ran out of time at the shelter. We got him out of there and into a foster home a day prior to his euthanasia date. Phew!

What Our Evaluator Says: With his pearly white teeth, he weighs in at nice 66 lbs. He came into the shelter as a stray and a lil scared but no more! His personality now shines through... seeking affection, melting into gentle pets, and showing just how loving he really is. He is easy to handle, calm and easy on leash, gentle taking treats, patient and cooperative for photos, friendly meeting another male dog. He’s just a young boy with so much love to give. I feel he would be a good family dog!

What Bruce Wayne's Foster Says: I have been fostering Bruce Wayne for nearly two weeks and he has been adjusting to home life very well. He is learning to "sit" before eating and before going out and in from outside. He loves fetch and is extremely good at it; rarely coming back without the ball; he does not want to stop. Bruce sleeps through the night quietly in his crate at the end of my bed. Last night, I left his crate door open to see what he would do and he stayed in his crate the entire night, even when I got up and left to go to the kitchen. He does not make a peep even when I get up in the middle of the night or in the morning. He is learning boundaries. He wants to know where you are all the time, but is not a velcro dog. He enjoys going for walks. While he is walking a straighter path, he still wants to sniff both sides of the sidewalk. He is interested in other dogs, and wants to play. We have seen cats and he notices them but has little interest in them. Bruce is tentative with all new things before he gets comfortable with them. 

What Bruce Wayne's Rescue Rep Says: What a delightful guy! Bruce Wayne has a lot of energy so a capable handler is needed. Lots of exercise will help this guy get settled in. Would be fine in a home with another dog and/or children. 

Medical: In fine health.  Neutered, current on vaccinations, and microchipped.   

Located In: San Jose

Our volunteers donate their personal time phones so please only call during reasonable hours (8am - 8pm). The Rescue Rep identified in the dog posting is the only person with information about the dog - please only contact the designated volunteer. We do call everyone back within 2-3 days so please be patient. We work very hard to make the right matches for the dogs and for the new owners. We get 3-5 dogs per week; we do not have a facility where the dogs are housed, they are in foster homes throughout the Bay Area.
