Wednesdays are our favorite day of the week here at Townsquare Media Billings bcause we get to meet dogs like this boy.

Bruiser is his name and being a good boy is his game. This gorgeous doggie has been with YVAS (Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter) for about a week now. He came in as a stray and we can’t understand how.

He is so happy.

Bruisers tail didn’t stop wagging the entire time he visited us. He's truly full of love and wants to either cuddle or just lay next to a human. He'd be a wonderful addition to a loving family.

Bruiser is an American Bully mix.  

He is considered a medium dog, and photos are deceiving because he actually only stands about two feet tall. His giant head always has a grin, and he seems to be a very happy dog. 

Bruiser has done well with the other dogs in the shelter and YVAS says he can be great with kids too, they just have to be aware of how much he thinks he’s a lap dog.

He is neutered and vaccinated; he just needs a loving home who will take him on walks and give him cuddles.

If you’d like more information on Bruiser contact Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter.

Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter has been around the Billings Community since 2007 and became the official city companion for sheltering animals in 2009. Since the creation of YVAS, they have become the largest animal shelter in Montana, with over 5,000 animals coming through their doors each year. 

 Right now, YVAS is more than just a shelter. They work toward reuniting lost pets with their owners, provide adoption services, offer foster care for pets, and go out of their way to volunteer in the community.
