Ventura California: Bruce the dog was a stray, be came homeless with a family who was homeless had issues while being homeless and the Ventura Co Animal Shelter took him and housed housed him for 125 days. Caged in double bars, Legal issues and he had several Stays because in California we have some laws. Many of us visited him brought him treats. yet he was not allowed any time out of his cage. He weighted 160 pounds. We fought protested spoke yet nothing or nobody did anything lawyers tried but it did not come to pass. He was killed by the Shelter today at 1:00 p.m. alone they did not even have the time to call the family. The family of Bruce was not allowed to hold him even after they killed him. They have been thru all and they are loving people. We love you Bruce forever! Fly High and meet all our animals they are awaiting for you. Run forever playing with toys. Your paws will be clean and smell of Lavender Flowers you have arrived to rainbow bridge and you will be awaiting for us all at the gates.
