Introducing Bruiser!

    Introducing Bruiser!
    Bruiser is my newest foster baby he was severely abused by his former owner. When he was found by animal control he had no food or water and had been that way for over a week. He has obviously been in quite a few dog fights and on top of everything else he has demo mange. He is currently listed on the PBRC death row pits. But a great friend Melissa through the Kentucky Pit Bull Rescue is going tomorrow to get him released from the shelter and he will stay with Melissa for a few weeks until I have had a chance to heal and take our vacation. I hear he is a real sweetheart! In fact when he was found he was sharing his bed with his cat friend Milo who will also be leaving the shelter with Bruiser.

    That poor baby! He's sure lucky to have found you for a foster mommy. I'd like to say I can't believe people would do that to a dog, but I'm sad to say I can believe it since it happens every day it seems. It just makes me sick. Looks like things are looking up for Bruiser and his buddy Milo! :eek:

    GinaH, I'm so happy for Bruiser and am thrilled that you've decided to keep his "pet" Milo as well. It will make his recovery that much easier on him.

    You and Melissa are heros in a very real sense of the word! :m11:

    Thanks all IM so excited to be able to help Bruiser and Milo. We just built two new enclosed outdoor dog runs so it will make it easier to alternate during the day and things won't be so hectic in the house.
    Yep I took the picture it's Pinky when she was a puppy. :D

    Who knows you never know until you get them home and find out for yourself. Per the shelter he gets along great with other dogs and obviously since his best friend is a cat he has no problem with cats. I have had fosters before that were temperament tested and supposedly proven to not have any animal aggression and then once I got them home there was a strong dislike of one of my dogs. Luckily if there is a problem with dog aggression I have enough room to keep him contained away from the other dogs. He will be with Melissa for a few weeks and she teaches OB training professionally and has many years of experience with this breed so she will do any actual temperament testing and if there seems to be any majors problems other arrangements will be made.

    way to go Gina :D and how sweet of both of you to take both Milo and bruiser. sometimes no matter how much a person trys to make a dog fight, its just not in the dog.

    and reminds me of a story I saw not too long ago where a zoo bear befriended a cat an0000ey are inseperable.

    Hey, like they say...

    "The heart wants, what the heart wants" or "Love is blind" or

    "A rose by any other..." scratch that, make it "A bear by any other name is a cat" :wink:
