One of the most difficult problems to solve in the animal rescue world is finding help for senior dogs.

Many people may look down on you and judge you somewhat when you try to adopt because of your age. However, it is important to understand that most older animals like to give. They need someone willing to give them a chance.

In this story I’m going to tell you about the sweetest old dog who got scared and shook until the most beautiful thing happened.

Bruno Was So Scared

When Shira received a video of Bruno, where she saw him shaking uncontrollably, she knew she had to do something.

She told The Dodo: “I could just tell he wanted to be this sweet old man, but he was just too scared.” 

Shira took him to her car and tried to calm him down with some cuddles. After about ten minutes, something changed.

Bruno stopped shaking and was really relaxed with Shira. At that moment, he understood that he was safe and that his new caretaker wanted to help him.

When she took him to a safe place, she gave him a nice, warm bath because his fur was really sticky.

He seemed so happy after the shower that he just decided to take a long nap.

Shira said: “He just passed out, and it’s probably the first peaceful sleep he’s had in God knows how long.

Bruno’s New Foster Mom

The next day, Shira found him a foster mom, Chekechea, who saw his story and just wanted to help him feel loved.

He has been through so much trauma, and it was finally time for him to start enjoying his life again.

Chekechea loves to sing for him before bedtime as it calms him down and helps him fall asleep.

After Bruno got used to being around his new foster mom, his personality really started to show. She said: “He’s really like a little grumpy old man.

He likes to be with everyone, but sometimes he likes to be alone.

Chekechea really loved her and wanted to protect her, but he couldn’t because of his busy schedule. She knew it would be good for Bruno to find someone willing to spend more time with him.

Bruno’s eternal home

They found him as a potential adopter. A man named Armen arrives to meet Bruno and at first it becomes clear that the two have hit it off.

This adorable dog immediately felt comfortable with his new owner and it was very easy for Armen to decide to adopt him. He was taken to his forever home where he can start over and enjoy it with his stepfather.

A few weeks passed and Shira thought it would be fun to see how Bruno was doing. When he visited Armen’s house, it was clear that Bruno was having the best time and loving his new home.

Everyone is so happy that this adorable senior dog overcame his fears and found a great person to take care of him.
