This is Bruiser, but he is anything but a tough guy! He’s very friendly with people and other dogs and almost completely housebroken. He was very sad when he first came to ATDR after being dumped by the only family he’d ever known. They kept him outside all the time so, sadly, he is heart worm positive and has a large scar on the side of his mouth where another dog attacked him at some time. Thankfully, he’s safe now in a loving foster home where he absolutely loves to cuddle and sleep in the big bed with you…he still enjoys being outside though, and sometimes it’s a little hard convincing him to come in! Boys! They can be full of mischief and independence!

Bruiser is facing heart worm treatments so won’t be ready to go for several weeks. However, he’ll be reviewing adoption applications while he’s recovering. If you’re looking for a good little buddy to share life’s adventures with, now is the time to submit an application for Bruiser! He’ll be ready to go before you know it!
