At 2.5 years old and about 50 pounds, Cruise is the kind of dog people dream about: housebroken, well-mannered, knows how to sit, loves people, and blends right into family life like he’s always belonged. He’s just a REALLY GOOD DOG. The kind you meet once and think, “Wow… this guy is special.”
But Cruise hasn’t had the smoothest ride. He was surrendered once by an owner who simply didn’t want him. Then he was adopted, only to be returned because the adopter’s circumstances changed - no fault of his own. So now he’s been to the shelter not once, but twice, and while we take incredible care of our animals, no dog should ever have to see the inside of a shelter two times.
Still, Cruise hasn’t let any of it dull his shine. He’s steady, sweet, affectionate, and just a cool, easygoing guy. The kind of dog who would happily Cruise right into your heart and stay there.
He’s neutered, up to date on his basics, and ready to roll. Cruise is heartworm positive, but don’t let that stop you — our Wellness Clinic offers discounted treatment, and he’s worth every bit of it.
And here’s something extra special: A member of the community took Cruise out on a Doggy Day Out, fell in love with him, and was so moved by how wonderful he is that they sponsored his entire adoption fee just to help him find the home he deserves.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion, a best friend, a good hang, and an all-around great dog… Cruise is your guy. He’s ready for his forever family — for real this time.
Meet Cruise! He`s one cool cat.
