Name: Bruiser Age: 1 year Breed: Retriever mix Size: 67 lbs Adoption Application: https://forms.gle/nuKXoMu6gjS5DhFm8 Contact: transport@hssm.org Meet Bruiser! Bruiser is a one-year-old, 67-pound bundle of big pup energy who came to us from Harrison County Animal Control in December. He’s heartworm negative, neutered, and ready for his new forever home. Bruiser is great with people, great with other dogs, and has a big, goofy, happy-go-lucky energy that wins everyone over right away. He recently marched in a parade alongside other shelter dogs, met crowds of new people, and handled it all like a pro! Thanks to a dedicated advocate at the shelter, Bruiser already knows how to sit and is learning “shake” and “down.” He’s smart, eager, and loves giving you big Bruiser hugs whether you asked for one or not. Bruiser would make a great family dog, whether he’s your one and only or joining another playful pup. If there is another dog in the home, they’ll need to be ready to keep up. Bruiser loves to play and will happily play until he’s completely worn out. If you’re looking for a young, handsome, happy dog with an award winning personality Bruiser might be your guy!
