About Brandy

Meet Brandy: part majestic creature, part lovable goof. One moment, she stands on a trail like a regal model, and the next, she’s showing off her quirky "wonky-eyed" face. This 17-month-old beauty is about 40 lbs and is considered a medium-sized mixed breed—likely part Shepherd, part Labrador. Though Brandy has a slight vision issue with one eye, it enhances her unique charm. Initially a bit shy, she becomes an incredibly loyal companion once she feels safe. Brandy adores playtime, particularly a game of tug. She's remarkably obedient, following commands like drop it and sit with impressive self-control, only lunging for her toy once given the green light. Fully house trained and leashed trained, she's also a fantastic hiking buddy. Just say, "you ready?" and she’ll eagerly wait by the door. But don’t underestimate her independence; she enjoys her downtime too. You may find her napping on the couch or surveying the world from her favorite spot. A sensitive soul, Brandy prefers a stable environment and does best with a consistent routine. Big changes can be overwhelming for her, so she thrives with an owner who offers assurance and predictability in her daily life. She especially warms up to women and would be happiest in an adults-only home, taking her time to build trust with new people. Brandy gets along well with other dogs and enjoys their company, but she may be a little unsure about younger humans. Are you the right match for Brandy? If you’re looking for a fierce and loyal trail companion and are prepared to support her with patience and love, don’t hesitate. Let’s help Brandy find her forever home!
