About Brewer

Brewer is a loyal Black Mouth Cur and Lab mix—a four-year-old bundle of energy looking for a home that can match his pace. Right now, he clocks about 55 pounds and thrives on long walks, couch cuddles, and space to roam. He's friendly with other dogs and has done well with kids ages 5 and up, though he does prefer to keep to himself at the dog park. Brewer loves toys and bones fiercely, so he will sometimes guard them around other dogs, but usually gives them up for his favorite humans. He's both house and crate trained (though he’s a bit crafty and can escape crates that aren’t fastened well). Brewer spends evenings out walking and relaxing at home after his day. He needs an environment where he won’t be crated more than about 8 hours and will do best with people who can be active with him and give him plenty of affection. In the right home—one with a yard and time for play—Brewer will make a loyal, loving companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
