Say hi to Bruiser! Bruiser came to the shelter as a stray, so knowledge is limited to what staff have observed. Bruiser was found playing with a little dog in someone’s barnyard. Bruiser is believed to be a one-year-old intact male Husky/Shepherd mix. Staff believe Bruiser could be a very well-behaved pup with some training. Bruiser is looking for someone who will have patience and give him attention! Bruiser loves to play tug of war! Bruiser has been at the shelter for 77 days awaiting his forever home! Bruiser weighed in at 80 pounds and was given bordatella, parvo/lepto/distemper vaccines, microchipped, and found to be heartworm negative.

Meet Gunner! Gunner was owner surrendered to the shelter at no fault of his own as his owner had to move and could not take him. Staff were told Gunner is a three-year-old intact male Husky/Border Collie mix. Gunner’s owner told staff he is great with kids and does well with female dogs. Gunner knows how to sit and walks well on a leash. Gunner loves attention and is excited to meet new people. Gunner has been waiting here for his forever home for 84 days! Gunner weighed in at 41.6 pounds and was given bordatella, parvo/lepto/distemper vaccines, microchipped, and found to be heartworm negative.
