Chocolate Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois

Meet Bruce 🤎

Bruce is a 6 yr old lab/pittie mix (we think!) with a story we wish we could fully tell. We partner with many shelters, and every so often they send us a special favorite—Bruce is one of those dogs.

He was first picked up as a stray back in 2021 at the same animal control, made his way home, and has since had a few life turns, including at least two more homes. Most recently, he was found with another dog, and when his microchip was traced, his previous owner shared that she had rehomed him about a year ago and couldn’t take him back.

Through it all, Bruce has stayed nothing but happy and resilient. He kept his kennel clean, wagged his tail, and greeted each day with quiet optimism, not knowing what was next.

The moment we came for him, he eagerly jumped into the car for his first ride with us—tail wagging, ready for a new chapter. He’s been nothing short of joyful since, loving every person he meets and doing great with other dogs.

At around 47 lbs, Bruce is the perfect-sized companion and an even better best friend. All he needs now is someone to finally give him the forever he deserves.
