Our Mission

Brunos Foundation was founded in 2020, after the passing of a very special boy, Bruno. Kristina, the founder, adopted Bruno at 8 weeks of age from a shelter. He was her first rescue dog, and her best friend throughout her 20s and beyond. He was a wonderful foster brother to many fosters, dogs and cats included. 

  Kristina founded this rescue in 2020 after the passing of her beloved best friend, Bruno. Her passion for animals started at a very young age. She became a shelter volunteer at just 9 years old, and by 16, she was fostering dogs while working at a pet store. She went on to be a vet tech for many years and now her compassion reaches across the state of California, as she pulls at-risk dogs and puppies from euthanasia lists at overcrowded shelters. Bruno was one of those dogs and was her first dog that she adopted. In his honor, she has been able to save the lives of hundreds of dogs thanks to the volunteers, adopters, fosters, and sponsors that have donated their time, money and services to our cause.
