About Bruiser

Bruiser is a friendly senior who has been housebroken and lived indoors. He tends to get along well with other dogs but careful introductions are a must, as he has a high prey drive. This means no cats or small animals in his future home, and he would do best in a household without children aged 12 or younger. His enthusiasm for life shows in his playful spirit, but he appreciates a calm environment.
