About Bruiser

Bruiser is a standout companion. This boy is perfect for a family seeking a dog that knows how to be active when playtime calls, yet enjoys lounging on the couch when it’s time to relax. After making headlines for being #1 on a list of dogs facing euthanasia at the Stanislaus Animal Shelter, Bruiser earned his spot at SNAP thanks to a flawless evaluation. He is incredibly affectionate, welcoming pets from everyone he meets. He walks well on a leash and genuinely loves other dogs; in fact, he participated in doggie playgroups at the shelter! In his foster home, Bruiser has thrived. He adores people, including children, often the first to offer a gentle kiss on hands or cheeks. While he enjoys playful moments with his foster sister, he could easily adapt to being an only dog. Bruiser is a confident, easy-going boy who can blend into a variety of households.
