About Paintbrush

Paintbrush is an all-around awesome dude looking for a forever home. He gets along with dogs, cats, and kids, making him a perfect family companion. Estimated to be around 3 to 6 years old, he weighs 72 lbs and boasts a long coat with a unique tricolor pattern of brown, black, and white. Despite his size, he's low-energy and enjoys just one walk a day. He has successfully interacted with outdoor cats and adapts well to a 4-foot fence. One thing to note: Paintbrush is not a fan of being crated, so he’ll need a home environment that accommodates that preference or someone who can help him with gentle crate training. Oh, and how did he get his name? That white-dipped tip on his tail resembles a paintbrush! With all of his health needs met—he’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative—Paintbrush is ready to bring joy to his new family. Ready to meet him?
