Pet Of The Week (Why Was This Dog Named Brutus?)
This adorable senior dog is also available for fostering under the SPCA's support program.
BRIARCLIFF MANOR, NY — Brutus is such a tough guy name for such a small, gentle dog! This senior Maltese mix was turned in to the SPCA of Westchester with a few others after their owner died.
The SPCA folks report that Brutus is a lovely little guy-very sweet and good with everyone! Sadly, he and his furry friends were neglected and came in to us in very rough shape. Brutus had clearly broken his leg at some point and it appears that it was not treated medically so it didn’t heal properly which is why one of his paws is facing the wrong way. That doesn’t seem to stop him from getting around and loving life!
Due to his age and medical issues, Brutus is eligible to be fostered prior to potentially adopting! Contactshelter@spca914.org for more details.
