About Brinley

Brinley is a 1-year-old, 42-pound bundle of energy with a natural zest for life. She loves to explore, pick up new tricks, and doesn’t shy away from adventure. Brinley merges intelligence and bravery in unexpectedly charming ways—she’ll gallop across the yard, then return for snuggles or a belly rub on the couch. She’s been friendly and confident with all the people she’s met, eager for attention and always up for play. Brinley enjoys fetch, long walks, tug-of-war, and squeezing every bit of fun out of her squeaky toys. She genuinely gets along with other dogs and children, and the best home for Brinley would have another playful dog to match her spirit. She can be cat tested; she was more wary than curious about the house cat at the vet's office. Brinley will need a securely fenced yard—she thrives with outdoor space and regular activity. When her energy’s spent, she’s a gentle snuggler. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
