Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Seattle, Washington

Meet Bruce Springsteen, the heart and soul of the Rockstar Litter who somehow manages to be both a clumsy baby and a wise old man at the same time.

Bruce is what we like to call a “giant little lap dog.” Despite his growing size, he firmly believes his rightful place is directly on top of you, preferably belly-up, soaking in as many rubs as possible. He's a world-class snuggler who will happily melt into you after a long day of...well, being Bruce. His signature move is the dramatic full-body plop onto the floor, like he just wrapped a 12-hour shift and simply cannot go on another step.

When Bruce gets moving, it's a show you don't want to miss. His version of running is more of a clompy, wiggly shuffle with a bouncing booty that has everyone laughing. He's delightfully uncoordinated, endlessly charming, and fully committed to whatever he's doing in the moment.

Bruce absolutely loves other dogs. Playing with his furry friends is his favorite pastime, especially the kind of lazy, roll-around, make-weird-noises wrestling that doesn't require too much effort. He's still learning social cues and tends to go all-in with his enthusiasm, so a patient dog friend who can help guide him would be ideal. That said, Bruce would also be perfectly happy as an only pup, as long as he gets regular playdates and plenty of attention from his people.

He enjoys meeting new people and happily welcomes all the pets that come with it. Around the house, you'll hear his occasional dramatic little whines when he feels he isn't getting quite enough attention, which is both confusing and hilarious given how loved he is. He's also been known to test his luck with a bit of counter surfing, because he is still very much a puppy, after all.

Bruce has a wonderfully balanced personality. He's playful and goofy, but also incredibly chill. One minute he's romping around the yard, and the next he's sprawled out in the middle of the floor or curled up beside you like the perfect weighted blanket. He's great with cats, loves his dog friends, and brings a calm, lovable presence wherever he goes.

Bruce is estimated to have been born in October 2025 and weighs 43 lbs. He is a pit bull mix puppy and if you're looking for a someone with a big heart, a goofy stride, and an old soul wrapped in a young body, Bruce Springsteen is ready to be your biggest fan and your coziest companion!

Bruce's adoption fee is $550. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Per our rescue policy, unless specifically noted in a dog's bio, we will not consider adoption applications from families with children under 5 years old.

We take care to make sure every pup finds their pawfect forever homes! Our policy is to match our puppies' personalities to our prospective adopters' lifestyle and preferences in a four-legged fur companion. We reserve the right to select a pup we feel will be best suited for you, which may not be the pup you originally applied for.

Upon adoption, Forgotten Dogs Rescue requires all puppies under a year of age to be enrolled in puppy classes. Ask us about our recommendations and requirements for positive reinforcement training options!
