An 8- to 10-month-old boxer mix named Bruno is available for adoption from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Animal Care and Control unit in North Carolina for only $10.

Bruno seeks a home with owners who want a gentle and affectionate dog that loves to cuddle up next to them whether in their house or on the grass, according to the government agency's description on Facebook.

The 30-pound pooch has heartworm, but the disease is treatable and should not affect the attentive pup's ability to take commands from its guardian.

The lucky new caregiver will be glad to know that he/she will receive a voucher to help better curb the parasite.

If you have other pups, that is even better because the adorable animal loves to play with other members of its species.

Those interested in adopting the hound can visit CMPD Animal Care and Control for more information.
