My story

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

Bruiser arrived in our care with a mass. After having our veterinarian evaluate him, it was decided that the mass needed to be removed. The pathology report did reveal that it was a soft tissue sarcoma, a form of cancer. The margins were clear and we are hopeful that there will be no recurrence. Strong as an Ox with the heart of gold, Bruiser is a force to be reckoned with. This handsome Rottweiler of ten years young is always ready for an adventure, searching the front gate for a friend that needs some company. He loves the weekend, when his Woof Pack member comes to take him for a car ride, going to new places for exploring and new people to meet. Bruiser adores people, greeting them with side hugs or an excited sniff down in hope of a meaty treat. He can put on a show with a rump scratch, which causes his back legs to dance back and forth. Squeaky toys are his absolute favorite, and the smaller the more fun. He does not like going to the vet, or having procedures done, so a muzzle would be needed. He has not shown much interest in other canine companions, but could possibly make a friend. Bruiser would be most comfortable in a home with adults that can respect his boundaries. If you are interested in Bruiser and would love to meet him, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) and an adoption counselor will be in touch.

More about this rescue

Satchel's Last Resort is a no-kill animal shelter/sanctuary whose mission is to Rescue, Rehab and Rehome dogs and cats with nowhere else to go because of breed, behavior or medical issues.

Each resident that comes to Satchel’s has its own unique and personal history. We get to know each one individually – favorite toy, favorite game, favorite foods. The dogs are housed in an airy shelter with spacious kennels, take three or four romps in the playard or walks per day, and even take car rides to let their fur flap in the wind. Cats are housed in two open cat room settings and receive social interaction with staff and volunteers every day. Most important to us -- we keep our dogs and cats safe from other residents and from humans who may want to harm them.

Trainers work with the dogs a few times a week to teach them that they can trust humans and other animals. Staff and volunteers work with our cats to keep them socialized or help them learn to trust again. We actively seek forever homes tailored to the needs of every individual pet so that they can live the rest of their lives among a family of their own.

At Satchel’s Last Resort, we believe that by harnessing the unconditional love that the dogs and cats in our sanctuary put forth everyday, the world becomes a brighter place for animals and people. Each and everyday we try to give a little of their love back – back to the pets and back to our community.
