About Cruiser

Meet Cruiser, an adorable 7-year-old male Coton de Tulear ready to find the right person to share his life with. Despite being beloved by his owner, a change in circumstances means it's time for Cruiser to transition into a new home where he can continue to be cherished. Cruiser is a well-mannered companion, comfortable in his crate, and enjoys the car. He’s house-trained, neutered, and his vaccinations are up to date. With a hypoallergenic, non-shedding coat, he needs regular grooming to keep him looking his best. He thrives in a calm environment, where he can build confidence. Cruiser is great with his resident cat, respectful children, and has enjoyed playing with smaller dogs. He has a gentle spirit, but can be a bit anxious around new people or dogs, particularly larger ones. Understanding and patience will be key for his new owner. Ideally, you should be home often and able to guide Cruiser as he adjusts to new experiences in a supportive way. If you're someone who appreciates the beauty of a loving, well-cared-for companion, Cruiser could be the one for you. Reach out for more details!
