Meet Bruiser! This handsome 5-year-old boy weighs 59 pounds and has such a sweet, gentle way about him. Bruiser appears to be house-trained at the shelter and is ready to meet someone who will give him the love and comfort he deserves.

Bruiser is spending time in a short-term foster home, where he's showing off his sweet, gentle personality! He's been a perfect gentleman with new people, happily soaking up pets, and loves staying close to his humans for snuggles.

This clever boy knows sit, stay, come, shake, and lie down! He enjoys walks and outdoor play, especially nudging balls around with his nose, then settles in for naps indoors. He even joined his foster for a kickball outing and enjoyed a bath. His leash skills are already improving with practice.

Bruiser has shown excellent housetraining habits, with just one accident by the door on his first night and none since. He's also been calm when left alone.

At bedtime, Bruiser settles into the routine and loves being tucked in like a little burrito. If gentle companionship, happy walks, and cozy evenings sound like your kind of life, Bruiser would love to meet you!

Bruiser would like to meet any doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match.

Bruiser is currently in the comfort of a foster home. If you're interested in meeting him, please complete an application and email dogfosters@barcs.org for next steps!
