About Brooks

Meet Brooks, a delightful three-year-old mixed breed dog weighing around 47.5 pounds. He's a cheerful companion who thrives on affection and is eager to learn better manners. Brooks might get along with another dog, so feel free to bring yours to see how they interact. Given his jumpy nature and tendency to take treats enthusiastically, it's best to have older, sturdier children around him. Currently in a loving foster home, Brooks has made significant strides in his behavior. He knows commands like "sit" and "paw," and is housebroken. His foster notes how he enjoys zooming around the yard with toys and snuggling up for cozy couch time. When left alone, he’s comfortable resting in the laundry room and has no issues sleeping in the living room at night. He loves car rides and walks, though he tends to pull at first, settling down after a few moments. Brooks would make a wonderful addition to any household. Ready to meet him?
