My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Bruiser! I am a 3-year-old, neutered male American Bulldog mix in need of someone to love for life. I am a very handsome boy with a heart of gold. I walk really well on leash, nice and easy. I am friendly, funny and affectionate. I like to play with toys and with other dogs, but I need a home without cats. Taking walks and running in the yard are two of my favorite things. I am super smart. I know how to sit, shake (I'm ambidextrous and can do either paw) and down. If a sweetheart like me is the right dog for you, please apply today! You'll be the luckiest family out there. I'm just THAT great of a dog and companion. Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.

Apply online: www.pawsforliferescue.org. Complete this form and a volunteer will contact you to answer questions and to schedule a meet-n-greet.

Adoption and Foster Care Application


NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.


Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.
