Brutus’s Story
Brutus, a young American Bulldog and Staffordshire Bull Terrier Mix under 1 year old, is a bundle of joy and potential at Brantley Animal Rescue Coalition (BARC) in Jacksonville, FL. Rescued as a stray, he’s blossomed into a confident, playful pup who loves nothing more than engaging in fetch sessions or splashing in water. His gorgeous green eyes and affectionate nature have made him a favorite among volunteers, and his knowledge of sit and wait commands shows his intelligence and trainability. With a bit of leash work, Brutus is poised to be the ideal family dog or even a therapy companion for veterans with PTSD.
Brutus gets along well with other dogs, enjoying their company during play, but his prey drive means he’s best in homes without cats, birds, or small animals. His strong build and protective demeanor add a sense of security to any home, while his loving heart ensures he’s a gentle giant at heart. After thriving in rescue care, Brutus is ready for a forever family who can match his energy and provide the structure he needs to shine.
Ideal Home
Brutus would thrive in an active, dog-savvy home with a securely fenced yard perfect for water play and fetch. He’s great with adults, children, and other dogs, making him suitable for families or multi-dog households, but prefers a home without cats due to his prey drive. Owners experienced with large, energetic breeds who can continue his training (especially on leash) will find Brutus to be a loyal, protective, and joyful companion. A suburban or rural setting with space for play and adventures will make this green-eyed wonder’s young life truly fulfilling.
