Meet Bruno

Foster or forever home wanted, meet Bruno. Bruno has not had the most wonderful life. When Bruno caught our attention just ahead of the July 4th holiday, he was on the 72 hour notice list, putting his life at risk. To let this happen to a younger handsome dog, is not an option. So, while boarding isn't ideal, it is a better option than for him to lose his life. Bruno's stay at the Palmdale shelter last month, was not the first time he was an inmate there. Once we read his records, we found he came into the shelter in January 2023 at one year of age. He came in limping, but it appears as though the shelter did not pursue a diagnosis. He was neutered and adopted within a few days. Fast forward to June of 2026, Bruno was picked up as a stray on the 22nd, On exam, he was given very favorable praises for being sweet and wiggly. He received the highest possible behavior score. They noted he was toe tapping on one front leg and while he did not seem painful, had an unusual gait on both front legs. He fully weight bears and is not painful on flexion or extension. He'll be seeing our veterinarian for a workup. Since Bruno is new to the rescue, we are still getting to know him. We will update his bio as we learn more. If Bruno sounds like a pup you'd like to meet, please fill out an application at labradorsandfriends.org. Bruno is located in Southern California.
