The SPCA of Wake County played a vital role in Bruno’s journey to happiness. Beyond sharing his story, they provided him with the essential medical care and attention he needed to heal — both inside and out.
Like many shelter dogs in North Carolina, Bruno was also battling heartworm disease, a serious condition that often makes adoption more difficult. Thanks to the generosity of donors, the SPCA was able to cover the cost of his treatment, giving Bruno a new chance at life and love.
Their dedication and compassion continue to change countless lives — one rescued animal at a time.
