About Brody

Brody is a 5-year-old, 65-pound neutered male Cattle Dog/Pitbull mix who makes the most of every day. He strikes a rare balance, eager for backyard romps but just as happy lounging with his people. Brody adores plush toys—usually chewing their faces off with gusto—and doesn’t mind a little dress-up for holidays or events, if it means being with you. His gentle demeanor shines with people, and he welcomes new faces easily. He’s done well with dog-savvy children (around 8 and up) who know how to interact with big, playful dogs and is fully housebroken and crate trained. Brody gets along best with friendly, relaxed female dogs, but can also thrive as a solo dog in a home with a secure yard for zoomies. He isn’t suited for a family with cats, as he’s not confident around them. He’s polite on leash, eager to please, and picks up new routines quickly—benefits of a smart, food-motivated mind. Brody’s made great progress refining his obedience and benefits from calm, consistent guidance. He’d thrive with someone experienced with intelligent working breeds like Cattle Dogs or Pitbulls, but doesn’t demand an extreme lifestyle—he’ll happily trade a hike for snuggles on the couch. At his core, Brody just needs structure, a little activity, and someone to share his affection with. This is a dog who’s come a long way and is ready to give his loyalty (and that signature goofy smile) to a forever home in Mooresville, NC. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
