About Bruiser

Meet Bruiser! Bruiser, along with his mom and siblings, came to us from the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility when he was just 6 days old. He's the "thickest" boy of the litter and once he settles into his surroundings, he becomes a rambunctious pup who loves to play rough with his doggie friends, enjoy toys and chews, eat, sleep, and repeat!

Ideal Home

Bruiser has a high prey drive and would do best with dogs his own size or larger. A home experienced with large dogs that can provide structure and stability is where he will truly thrive.

Ongoing Health

Bruiser is up-to-date on vaccinations and is neutered.

Training & Support

Bruiser is not yet house-trained. He needs a home that can provide him with structure and stability to help him succeed.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transporation

Bruiser is located at Heart of Gold's Shelter in El Cajon, CA. We can arrange transportation to approved adopters.
