Brody (20200629-01)

My story

Meet Brody! Brody is a sweet, loving boy who has perfected the art of being a total couch potato. He thoroughly enjoys taking many really good naps throughout the day, and when he's tired, he will quietly take himself off to a peaceful space to fall into a deep sleep. But don't let his sleepy nature fool you-he still has random, joyful bursts of energy where he absolutely loves to run, explore, and play with his toys. When those famous "zoomies" hit, just make sure he has a toy handy, or he might just take out his excitement by wrestling with the nearest blanket! Brody absolutely adores his people and forms incredibly strong, loving bonds. While he can be a bit shy at first, once he warms up to you, his true personality shines. He is a massive fan of a good butt scratch-in fact, he will literally back up into you and shake his hips to let you know it's time for some affection! Because he loves being around his humans so much, he isn't a huge fan of the crate and will let out a funny little "moo" to let you know he'd much rather be right by your side. When it comes to outdoor adventures, Brody is a joy to take out. He loves to smell absolutely everything on his walks. While he is quite strong, he transforms into a perfect gentleman when he is wearing his harness. He is completely non-reactive to other people and dogs on walks, preferring to mind his own business and enjoy the fresh air. He also truly enjoys going on strolls with his dog friends and favourite humans, and he is always happy to pause for a cuddle along the way. Brody has had some challenges in his past, but he is so resilient. If his new family sets him up for success and ensures he feels safe and secure, they will be rewarded with endless goofiness, laughs, and unwavering loyalty.You will not be disappointed if you give this special boy a chance.
