Meet Brutus, a 2-year-old American pit bull mix weighing 56 pounds. Like his chocolate color, he’s super sweet. He loves everyone he meets and always has a goofy grin. And his personality is just as quirky: he likes licking people’s clothes, making silly snort noises and showing off his toys with his head held high. He’s missing a front leg, making him a tripod with style. Brutus has been neutered and microchipped and has received all age-appropriate vaccinations. Come meet him today and he will steal your heart. #159404

Brutus is waiting for you at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas, 2400 Lone Star Drive (near I-30 and Hampton Road). Hours are noon-6 p.m. Sun-Wed and noon-7 p.m. Thurs-Sat.

Fee includes spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, a heartworm test for dogs six months and older and a FIV/FeLV test for cats 4 months and older, initial flea/tick preventative and heartworm preventative, a microchip, 30 days of PetHealth Insurance provided by PetPlan, a free 14-day wellness exam with VCA Animal Hospitals, a free year- long subscription to Activ4Pets, a rabies tag and a free leash.
