Brayan

My story

***BRAYAN IS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN THE VANCOUVER B.C. AREA*** Meet Brayan, your soul dog with a lot of love to give… Male I Labrador Mix I 88lbs I 4-5 yrs I neutered, UTD on shots Good with all people and calm dogs that he is slowly introduced to. Rescued from Mexico, currently looking for a home in Vancouver, BC. Background: Brayan was rescued from a highway in Mexico, where he was found running, disoriented, and scared. A kind commuter picked him up in their car, which he happily jumped into, knowing he was in good hands. Brayan was brought to the DogGo project in Puebla, Mexico where he happily lived for two years before being flown to Canada in June of 2024. He went into a foster-to-adopt (FTA) home in Ontario, and they relocated to Vancouver, BC. Brayan ended up not fitting into their lifestyle, and he is now looking for his forever home. Personality: Brayan is a people dog through and through. He loves spending quiet time at home with his FTA family or having social time when they have friends over. He is also incredibly loving and will always give new friends his paw to hold or roll over so that they can scratch his belly. Brayan has low to medium energy, and a couple of longer walks usually tire him out for the whole day. He isn’t much of a runner or player but will run around the backyard with the neighbour’s dog when the mood strikes. Brayan is fine being left at home during the day uncrated, he has never been destructive or had any kind of accident in the house. He’s happy to snooze on the couch and patiently wait for his foster family to return. Brayan loves to be outside and can walk well on the leash with a prong collar/e-collar. However, he needs lots of space on these walks from other dogs and people passing by to stay calm. He thrives in calm environments inside and outside the home and needs others to respect his personal space. Ideal Home: Brayan would be a great solo dog but would also be able to live with another calm dog who gives him his space. Brayan loves to be with his people, so a home with at least one family member often home with him would make him very happy. He is completely fine being left at home for periods of time and will quietly keep to himself. A yard would be ideal for Brayan to have calm outdoor time, or a home in a more rural area with quieter places to go on walks with his new family. Due to his leash reactivity, Brayan is looking for a strong leader and experienced owners who will continue to help him manage this so that he can thrive. Training / Activity: Brayan is very smart and picks up quickly on any new training. He has never had an accident in the home and has never been destructive when left alone. He knows ‘sit,’ ‘stay,’ ‘leave it,’ ‘heel’, and ‘come.’ His recall is okay, but it is still a work in progress. He responds well to leash pressure with his prong collar and cues from his e-collar while walking. Brayan has some leash reactivity and feels much more comfortable when given plenty of space from people and other dogs during his walks. In the past, he has lunged and attempted to bite when feeling overwhelmed, latching onto clothing without causing any harm. To help him feel secure, we recommend using a muzzle in busy areas while he continues to work on his confidence. Brayan is looking for a patient and committed family who will support him with positive reinforcement and training, helping him feel more relaxed and secure on his walks. Summary Brayan is a beautiful soul with a lot of love to give to everyone he meets. His temperament makes it easy for him to love back. With the right environment and some ongoing training for his reactivity, he will easily settle into being your new furry family member.
