Meet Bruno Puntz Jones!Don’t let Bruno’s age fool you—this handsome 12-year-old Cocker Spaniel mix still has plenty of pep in his step! Weighing in at just 26 pounds, Bruno is the perfect medium-sized companion with a heart full of love and a tennis ball never far from his mind.Bruno Puntz Jones is a happy, gentle boy who absolutely adores people. Whether he’s following you around the house, soaking up belly rubs, asking for ear scratches, or gazing at you with his irresistible puppy-dog eyes, he simply wants to be close to his favorite humans. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves being part of the family.One of his greatest joys in life is playing fetch—and he’s surprisingly good at it! Tell him to "go get your ball," and he’ll happily retrieve it and bring it right back for another round. He also knows commands like sit and in your crate, walks beautifully on leash, rides well in the car, and is house trained. He enjoys daily walks, playtime, and lounging with his people.Bruno is very food- and toy-motivated, making him eager to learn. Like many social dogs, he’ll happily remind you when treats are being handed out or if he thinks he deserves a little extra attention. He can be vocal when he’s excited, wants to play, or is hoping for a snack, so a home without shared walls would be ideal. While he’ll settle in his crate after you leave, he may bark or whine for a few minutes first.Bruno Puntz Jones gets along well with other dogs and has never met a stranger. He could thrive as an only dog soaking up all the attention or with another friendly canine companion.As a senior, he has arthritis in his hips and takes a daily pain medication to keep him comfortable. He previously had ear infections and eye irritation, both of which have been successfully treated, though his future family should watch for any recurrence. He also has cataracts and has some hearing and vision loss, which may experience changes over time, but they certainly don't slow him down or dampen his cheerful spirit.Bruno Puntz Jones would love a home with a yard where he can stretch his legs, chase his ball, and spend time with the people he loves most. If you're looking for a sweet, loyal companion who still has plenty of life, love, and fetch left to give, Bruno is ready to be your new best friend.Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
