The City's Pound is clean and the dogs are looked after, but such is the problem with strays in Dumaguete that if they are not collected within 3 days, they will be euthanised. Bruce was one of 16 dogs DAS rescued at one go. He was so antisocial when we brought him to the Sanctuary, forming a mini pack with Alice and Edith� who were also in the same pound rescue. They always stayed near the Quarantine area, far from other dogs and people. For the first four months or so he wouldn�t come anywhere near anyone. He would bark ferociously and then run away. Slowly the three of them started to move up towards the kitchen area but he was still very aggressive. He never actually tried to bite but he would lunge at you if you walked to near him. The only person he would go near was Ding the Caretaker. Slowly over time he has become more sociable and now he will let people he knows sit close and pet him. Sadly, it is unlikely he is going to be adopted. He won't go near strangers at all and is already around 10-12 years old. For his age he is actually really healthy and has never had a health problem since he arrived.
