Adopt: Brutus
A Big Love in a Young Dog's Body 🐾
📍 Monument, CO | 🎂 1 year old | ⚖️ 78 lbs
Brutus is one year old and fully committed to making sure you never feel alone, never feel unloved, and never walk to another room without a large fluffy shadow right behind you. He is enthusiastic, affectionate, toy-obsessed, and deeply devoted to his people — and he is still very much a puppy, which means he has a lot of love and a lot of learning happening all at once.
He has made impressive progress in just one week of foster care. His leash manners are improving with every walk, he has not had a single accident in the house, and he is learning commands like sit, wait, leave it, and settle with the help of his favorite motivator — food. He loves his toys and will bring them to you constantly, ready for a game of tug at any moment. Fair warning: he will not be letting go of that toy. That is simply not on the table.
Brutus is a cuddler of the highest order — floor, couch, bed, he is in for all of it and will do his very best to physically merge with you if given the opportunity. He jumps into the car happily, recovers quickly from startling noises, and greets new people with a brief moment of uncertainty followed immediately by enthusiastic joy once he decides you are wonderful. Spoiler: he always decides you are wonderful.
Because Brutus is a young, strong, highly energetic dog still building his manners and boundaries, he needs an experienced owner who understands large breed puppies and can provide the consistent structure and guidance he needs to thrive. He does best without small animals or children in the home.
Brutus would do best in a home that offers:
🏡 A securely fenced yard — he will give chase if something exciting catches his eye
🎓 An experienced large-dog owner who can provide consistent training and clear boundaries
🚫 No children — he does best with calm adults who can read his cues
🐱 No cats or small animals — chase mode is real with this one
🐾 Dogs may be welcome — he has shown friendly behavior with dogs he's encountered
📋 Consistent routine, training, and patience as he continues to mature
💛 Someone home often — he does not like being left behind and thrives on togetherness
Brutus is not a finished product — he is a one-year-old with a giant heart who is working hard every single day to become the dog he is meant to be. For the right experienced owner, he is going to be an extraordinarily devoted, joyful companion. 💕
