About Brisco

Brisco is a 4-year-old American Bulldog who was pulled from the shelter when his time was almost up. Now settling into foster, he’s searching for a steady home or another foster ready to give him a real shot. Brisco craves connection—he’s happiest playing tug, relaxing by your side, and hanging out outside. Ask his foster about the funny pig-like grunts he makes mid-play; they’re a crowd-pleaser. Right now, Brisco is uneasy around other dogs and needs a home where he can be the only pup. He’ll need structure and continued training as he acclimates—nothing complicated, just stability and someone patient. Give him a routine, invest the effort, and Brisco will reward you with full-bodied companionship. He doesn’t do well with cats, so a feline-free household is necessary. Brisco’s looking for a steady second chance, not a temporary one. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
