Brooks is a calm, leash-savvy pup who prefers space over snuggles. Though shy at first, he walked beautifully on leash and did his business outside. He’s hearing impaired, which may explain his alertness to surroundings. Brooks enjoys quiet companionship—he lay peacefully in the sun beside me, content as long as I didn’t push for affection. He’s still learning to trust, but with time and patience, Brooks has the potential to truly come out of his shell.
