About Bruiser

Bruiser was surrendered to us alongside Margo due to their impressive escapades as escape artists! Their knack for scaling fences had their previous owners concerned about their safety. This playful boy needs a secure yard and a dedicated family to ensure he stays safe. Bruiser loves being around people and thrives on attention. He can get a bit jumpy when greeting his friends, so a home with older children would be ideal for him. He should get along well with both male and female dogs, but it's important to arrange a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility with any potential canine siblings. While Bruiser is not fully housetrained yet, he’s crate trained and has no issues being left alone. He walks on a leash, but be prepared for his strong pull; a handler who can help improve his leash manners would be beneficial. Bruiser is full of energy, love, and personality, looking for a family that matches his playful spirit. He is neutered, vaccinated for DHPP and Bordetella, and microchipped. He will need a rabies update soon as well. If you're searching for a fun and affectionate companion, Bruiser is waiting to meet you!
