Bruiser is neutered male Shar Pei/Shepherd mix he is 14 years old.
Bruiser was rescued approximately 12 years ago by a family who rescued several dogs. Unfortunately recently the family had some personal issues and were forced to move into an apartment. The family tried for several weeks to place Bruiser with a new home. They were able to find homes for all of their younger dogs, but nobody wanted Bruiser, everyone told them the same thing, he was too old, needed some medical attention and because of his breed. They were told only one option Bruiser had to be euthanized. They told them to kill Bruiser.
Bruiser lived at the Sanctuary for two years. The children who visited loved to play and walk him. He learned to live with chickens, goats and pigs during his days. He was so happy to have a family of dogs to live with in his house. Daily he would play ball with Levi and then lounge on the couch with Lucy watching some television.
Bruiser passed away in our arms on his favorite couch in January of 2021.
