About Brisket

Brisket is a big-hearted, cuddle-obsessed boy who’ll happily snooze next to you for hours. He’s house trained, sharp with commands like sit, stay, place, and lay down, and he listens well. Brisket loves his walks and doesn’t pull much unless something gets him excited—then you’ll see a playful, goofy side that’s hard not to love. He’s lived with both dogs and cats, although he’s a bit protective of his people when it counts. Brisket can make a solid guard dog, but mostly he prefers company and affection. He needs a secure yard since, given the chance, he might try to explore more than you’d like. As a puppy, Brisket broke his leg and has already had surgery, but his leg will need to be amputated, so he’ll be looking for an adopter ready to help him with this next step. Ready to fall in love?
