Meet Brad, a sweet, affectionate, energetic dog who loves people and wants nothing more than a home of his own. Brad greets new people with happy wiggles and is easy to leash. Outside, he starts nervous, but once he settles, his affectionate and playful personality shines. Brad loves enrichment time and enjoys chasing tennis balls, playing tug, and exploring new spaces. When no other dogs are nearby, he is fully engaged with his handler—seeking interaction, practicing cues, and enjoying time together. However, he does struggle with kennel stress and can become overly focused on other dogs in neighboring runs. Highly treat-motivated and very smart, Brad picks up new skills quickly. He enjoys working on sit, down, and shake, and he excels at nose work and treat puzzles, using his problem-solving skills with enthusiasm. Brad is a loving, eager-to-please dog who thrives with routine, activity, and patient guidance. He’s ready for a home that can help him build confidence, reduce stress, and enjoy the happy, connected life he deserves.
