Brutus

Brutus

This week’s adorable pet may not be able to pull off a toga, but he won’t take part in any assassination plots against you, either. Meet Brutus, a 1-year-old, 62-pound pitbull-terrier mix.

Brutus was surrendered to the shelter because his previous owner could not afford to keep him. He lived outside and is described as hyperactive and partially housebroken, but is a gentle lap lover. He chews, is an escape artist and jumps on people, though.

He is good with women, men and children, fair with other dogs, and bad with cats, livestock and Roman dictators.

The $100 adoption fee includes spaying/neutering, up-to-date vaccinations and microchipping.
