Good With Cats? Not TestedEnergy Level: MediumTemperament: Nervous of peopleExperienced Owners Only: Yes, a little nervous of new people. Neutered: Yes. Vaccinated: Yes. Microchipped: Yes A gentle soul who has spent his whole life waiting for a home Bruno is one of those dogs who quietly stays in your heart. Gentle, sensitive and deeply deserving of kindness, he has spent his entire life in the shelter and is still waiting for the loving home he has never known. Bruno can be timid and unsure, especially around new people, so he needs a calm and patient family who will give him the time and space to feel safe. He is not the kind of dog who will rush into your arms straight away, but with understanding, compassion and experience, Bruno has every chance to build trust and show the sweet nature that is already there. Despite everything he has been through, Bruno remains a kind and gentle boy. He previously suffered from high pressure in one eye and had to undergo surgery, which left him blind in his left eye. He has adapted, but he will need a home that can support him with care and reassurance.

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs in Bosnia.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇧🇦Adopting from Bosnia and Herzegovina

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bruno, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bruno?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bruno on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bruno if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bruno already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bruno isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bruno and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
