About Bruce

Meet Bruce. He’s a gentle, resilient American Bulldog mix who’s bounced back from tough times and is eager to settle into a loving home. Estimated to have been born 11/08/23, he’s currently around 60 pounds, but he’s still regaining his ideal weight after weeks of struggling to find enough food. After being found wandering alone and undernourished—covered in scratches, cuts, and punctures—Bruce never lost his affectionate nature. Bruce genuinely gets along with other dogs whether he’s on or off the leash. Despite everything, he’s incredibly loving and open-hearted. He’s up to date on vaccinations and recovering from old wounds, but he does have heartworms and is receiving treatment with the slow kill method. His medical expenses for the heartworm treatment are fully covered by the rescue until he’s cleared, even after adoption, so that shouldn’t stop anyone who can provide a steady, caring home. Bruce has a gentle spirit, and his quiet resilience makes him a great companion. He’s waiting patiently in Hackett, AR, for someone to give him the security and love he deserves. Give Bruce a shot—he may just steal your heart for good. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
