WESH 2 the Rescue: Bruno is looking for his forever home

WE ARE BACK WITH OUR FAVORITE SEGMENT OF THE WEEK. WESH TO THE RESCUE. AND BRYANT ALMEIDA IS HERE FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES WITH BRUNO, WHO IS JUST SO ADORABLE AND SO CHILL. YEAH, BRUNO IS VERY CHILL. HE’S A 75 POUNDS OF MUSH AND MUSCLE, SO VERY BIG DOG, BUT VERY, VERY SWEET DOG. YES. AND WE WERE, YOU KNOW, WE SAW HIM A LITTLE BIT IN THE NEWSROOM AND SAW HIM HERE IN THE STUDIO BEFORE WE STARTED ROLLING. HE’S VERY CURIOUS. HE IS. HE’S CURIOUS. HE’S CALM. HE’S ACTUALLY KIND OF A QUIET. KEEPS HIMSELF SORT OF DOG. YEAH. HE’S GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS, BUT A LOT OF TIMES HE TENDS TO INTIMIDATE OTHER DOGS WITH HIS SIZE. YOU KNOW, WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT’S LIKE. YEAH. SO SOMETIMES I DO. I WISH I WERE TALLER, BUT ANYWAYS, IT’S ABOUT BRUNO. NOT ME. OH, OKAY. SO YOU WERE SAYING BEFORE WE GOT STARTED THAT HE FOUND HIS WAY TO THE SHELTER BECAUSE SOMEONE SAW HIM? BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HE WAS FOUND OUTSIDE A BUSINESS. A LADY SAW HIM JUST SITTING THERE IN THE PARKING LOT, SCARING EVERYBODY, INTIMIDATING EVERYBODY. JUST BY SITTING DOWN THERE CALMLY. IT LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN DUMPED, AND SHE EVENTUALLY JUST, YOU KNOW, GOT THE COURAGE TO GO OUT THERE AND MEET HIM. AND SHE SAW THAT HE WAS FRIENDLY. HE WAS A SWEET DOG. SO SHE BROUGHT HIM DIRECTLY TO US. I MEAN, THANKFULLY, SHE DID THE RIGHT THING. SHE DID. BUT IF SOMEONE IS IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY DO HAVE TO REHOME AN ANIMAL, LET’S USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO DO. DON’T TAKE IT TO A BUSINESS LIKE, NO, I MEAN, IF YOU HAVE AN ANIMAL, YOU DON’T CAN’T HAVE IT ANYMORE. YOU BRING THEM TO THE SHELTER. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THE SHELTER SHOULD BE THE LAST RESORT TO REHOME AN ANIMAL. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TRY TO. YOU KNOW YOUR BEST TO. YOU KNOW, THERE’S PLENTY OF RESOURCES, RESCUES, THINGS LIKE THAT. FAMILY, FRIENDS. BEFORE YOU TRY TO SHELTER. BUT DON’T DUMP THE ANIMAL IN THE PARKING LOT. THAT’S JUST CRUEL. OKAY, BUT HE’S IN GOOD SPIRITS. HE SEEMS TO BE. AND IF HE GOES HOME WITH SOMEONE, WHAT TYPE OF HOUSEHOLD DO YOU THINK WOULD BE GOOD? LIKE SOMEONE WHO’S ACTIVE? SOMEONE WHO KIND OF CHILLS AT HOME? MAYBE. I THINK HE’LL NEED A MIXTURE OF BOTH BECAUSE I HAD HIM OUT THIS MORNING, AND HE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF THE ZOOMIES OUT IN THE PLAY YARD. OKAY, SO HE DOES HAVE SOME GOOD ENERGY, BUT I THINK FOR THE MOST PART THIS IS A COUCH POTATO. OKAY. I MEAN HE’S GOING TO WANT TO BE NEXT TO YOU AS YOU CAN TELL, HE’S ON TOP OF ME THE ENTIRE TIME. HE’S A LAP DOG. YOU KNOW, HE HE THINKS HE’S A LOT SMALLER THAN HE IS. YES. OH, YEAH. NO. WHOA. THESE ARE 75 POUNDS. HE’S BIG. HI. GO BETWEEN THE LEGS. HERE WE GO. OKAY, SO IF ANYBODY WANTS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT BRUNO OR ADOPT BRUNO, TELL US ALL THE INFORMATION. WHERE CAN THEY GO? THE ORANGE COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER. YOU CAN COME VISIT US. WE’RE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE MALL OF MILLENNIA ON CONROY ROAD. YOU CAN VISIT OUR WEBSITE AUSCHNITT. PETS.COM. AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, BRUNO AND A LOT OF OTHER DOGS ARE GOING TO BE AT LAKE EOLA THIS SUNDAY FOR OUR OCTOBER. YEAH, IT’S A GREAT EVENT. I’VE GONE WITH MY DOG SOMETIMES. THERE YOU GO. SO IT’S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ALL THE SERVICES HERE IN ORLANDO. EXACTLY. AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL PARTNERSHIP WITH CHEWY. SO ANYBODY WHO ADOPTS BRUNO OR ANY ONE OF OUR WESH TO THE RESCUE PETS, THEY ARE GOING TO GET BASICALLY A STARTER KIT OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO TAKE A NEW DOG HOME. THE DOG BED. YOU SEE HERE, THE FOOD AND WATER BOWLS, THE SNACKS, LEASHES, ALL THIS STUFF. AND I SAY THIS EVERY WEEK. LIKE THIS STUFF ADDS UP WHEN YOU’RE GETTING A NEW DOG AT HOME. SO IT IS GREAT TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THIS AT FOR FREE AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE. OKAY, ERIC, I’M GOING TO SEND IT OVER TO YOU BECAUSE I’M GOING TO BE WALKING MY DOG THIS AFTERNOON AND THANKFULLY I WON’T BE DEALING WITH THE HUMIDITY. NO, IT’S GREAT FOR BRUNO FOR FOR EVERYBODY.
