About Brady

Brady is an estimated 2-year-old shepherd mix who found himself in the care of the shelter after being picked up as a stray. He arrived without a microchip or tags, just a handsome, friendly dog seeking a safe place to land. Transitioning from the uncertainties of life on the street to the bustle of a busy kennel can be tough, and it’s clear that this environment isn't where Brady thrives. While he’s been friendly with the staff, he appreciates some space and is likely best suited for an adult-only household or one with older, dog-savvy teens who can respect his boundaries and allow him time to adjust. His feelings towards other dogs are still being evaluated. This beautiful shepherd mix deserves a shot at a loving home to leave his stray days behind and begin a fresh chapter with a family of his own. Ready to fall in love?
