Bruce Wayne

Meet Bruce Wayne, a loyal and loving almost-eight-year-old Golden Retriever mix from Sevierville, TN, who is looking for his next home where he can be the devoted companion he was born to be. With his warm golden coat and soulful eyes, Bruce has spent his life forming a deep bond with his person, and now he’s ready to bring that same unwavering love to someone new!

Bruce is an adventurous and intelligent dog who has enjoyed life on a farm, running free and exploring his surroundings. While he’s recently adjusted to roaming on a lead line, he still enjoys plenty of outdoor time and would thrive in a home where he has space to play, take walks, and engage in his favorite game—fetch! He’s friendly with other dogs and has even shared sleeping space with a cat, though he does like to chase unfamiliar ones.

Indoors, Bruce is a well-mannered, quiet sleeper who settles in for the night on his rug or bed, patiently waiting for morning before heading outside. He’s house-trained, free-feeds without issue, and has never had an accident inside. He knows basic commands like sit, stay, and come, and while he hasn’t had formal training, he’s eager to please and would benefit from continued attention and consistency.

Because Bruce is deeply devoted to his person, he prefers a quieter home without young children. He once nipped when startled in the dark, so a family who understands his need for a calm environment will be the best fit. He thrives on one-on-one attention and would do best with a patient and understanding guardian who appreciates his loyal nature.

Bruce is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and gets regular grooming to keep his coat comfortable year-round! If you’re looking for a faithful, affectionate, and playful companion who will always be by your side, Bruce Wayne is ready to be your new best friend. Reach out to learn more about him!]
