About Brian
Brian is a lively 5-year-old Boxer mix living in Stanwood, WA, thrilled to find a new family ready for fun and adventure. Heās a unique blend: mostly Boxer, with some Border Collie, German Shepherd, and a dash of other breeds. Brian has plenty of energy, loves playtime, and easily adapts his style to suit any dog he meetsābig or small. He does especially well with dogs, showing both playfulness and gentle manners. Always in the mood to explore, Brian loves chasing critters outdoors, taking car rides, and splashing in waterābe it a pool, hose, or just puddles. Heās got a fondness for toys, especially stuffed animals (which stay intact in his care), plus a good round of tetherball or a tasty bone. Walks are his favorite, and he does great on a prong collar, listening closely to his handler. Heās kennel trained, reliably uses a doggy door, and can be trusted alone without causing chaosāunless thereās unattended food within reach. Brian is a quick learner, already knowing several commands, and responds well to patient, consistent leadership. While he isnāt overly snuggly, he likes to be close and will occasionally climb onto your lap for affection. Older children are a good fit for him, as are active homes with another dog to help channel his energy. Though Brian generally has no guarding issues with food or toys, he has started resource-guarding the infant in his current foster home, so heās better off in a household without young children. Fun-loving and loyal, Brian will keep you entertained and active. Heās had a TPLO injury, so while heās still eager to run, some care is needed to keep him safe. If youāre looking for a devoted, athletic companion, Brian is ready to join you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
