About Brook

Meet Brook! She’s a happy, active girl who has just arrived at Baypath and is eager to find her forever home. Brook is a friendly, social dog who thrives on interaction with people and has a great track record with visitors, kids, and other dogs. She loves being active and is eager to join her family for walks, adventures, and playtime. You can often find her happily chewing on her favorite toys. This sweet girl is house trained, crate trained, and knows commands like "sit" and "stay." Having lived comfortably with another dog, she enjoys canine companionship. At the end of a busy day, Brook is content to curl up in her kennel, on a dog bed, or snuggly close to her humans. Curious by nature, Brook likes to keep an eye on her surroundings and might chase after birds if given the chance. As she hasn’t lived with cats, we’re still discovering how she feels about them. Brook will be ready for meet-and-greets shortly after her spay appointment on June 17. This fun-loving companion is searching for an active family to call her own. Come meet Brook and see if she’s the perfect addition to your home!
