Brutus - In Foster Care


Name: Brutus
Age: Estimated 18 months
Breed: Boxer
Sex: Male (altered)
Location: Alexandria, VA area

Vet InfoBrutus is confirmed ​neutered.  He received one year Da2pp and rabies vaccines on 2/7/14, and the bordetella intranasal vaccine on 11/1/13.  He is heartworm, ehrlichia, and lyme negative.  He has been diagnosed with retinal atrophy.  They also note he had a seizure in April, 2013.  ​Brutus weighs 65 pounds.

Owner Info: Brutus's caregiver is in the military, and brought Brutus back from Korea (he was a stray in Korea) at the request of a friend. The friend no longer wants Brutus, and his caregiver is unable to keep him as they are moving across the country at the end of July. They are very much hoping for rescue for Brutus and are trying to avoid taking him to the pound! They have contacted several rescues and agencies but have had no luck so far. Brutus is mostly blind due to a cataract disorder he's had since he was young. He is an indoor dog who is crated, he is not housebroken but is leash trained. He knows the commands Sit, Heel, and Down! Brutus is an outgoing and friendly fellow, and is good with both men and women. Brutus has shown no aggression and is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, but his caregiver writes that he is a curious dog and can be a bit overwhelming to smaller children or shy dogs. He currently lives with a cat and a dog. He has never bitten or snapped. His caregiver wants us to know that "he is an extremely fun loving and compassionate dog! He loves to snuggle and lay in laps. He is not at all aggressive! He just needs a little extra care and love."
