My name is Bruiser!

Meet Bruiser!

Bruiser is a playful soul, especially when it comes to interacting with other small dogs.
She thrives in the company of confident canine companions, often looking to them for guidance as she continues to become more comfortable in new situations. She is becoming more trusting of the world every single day!
 As she is continuing to be more confident, she's a bit particular about how she likes to be approached—no head pats or top-down greetings for this gal. It makes her uncomfortable. Instead, Bruiser prefers a more gentle approach, with a hand sniff and chin scratch being the key to her heart and making her comfortable.

A typical day in Bruiser's life starts with a morning routine of outdoor time, followed by breakfast in her crate and a well-deserved treat. Throughout the day, she enjoys hanging out by her foster parent's side, playing with her furry friends, and going on short walks with other small dogs. Bruiser is a creature of comfort, preferring to have her harness put on while nestled in her bed.

As the day winds down, Bruiser settles in for dinner in her crate, followed by some relaxation before bedtime. She's a loyal companion who thrives on routine and loves nothing more than spending quality time with her foster family.

Bruiser has not been introduced to children or cats.

If you're in search of a furry friend who's equal parts playful and affectionate, Bruiser might just be the perfect match for you.

Bruiser is from Texas.
