Meet Bruzer and Phil! Bruzer is a six-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix with a sweet and affectionate personality. He loves splashing around in the water and showing off his playful side.

Phil is a gentle two-year-old Shepherd mix who adores people—one look into his eyes and you’ll be hooked.

Together, these two best friends love running, chasing each other, and enjoying life to the fullest. They’re both great on a leash and already familiar with the command “sit.”

You can adopt a new member of the family for FREE from now through October 31 at the Devore and Big Bear Animal Shelters, thanks to our amazing partners at Spreen Subaru San Bernardino.

Visit our meet-and-greet areas to spend time with Bruzer and Phil and see if they’re the perfect match for you.

Each qualifying adoption includes spaying or neutering, a microchip, and age-appropriate vaccinations.

To help ease your transition to pet parenthood, MetLife Pet Insurance offers 30 days of complimentary pet insurance.
