About Brody

Brody is a shy dog who prefers the comfort of a bed or couch for his naps. Having lived with dogs, cats, and even livestock, he requires careful introductions when meeting new animals to ensure a smooth transition. Brody does exhibit resource guarding around his food; he may freeze, growl, or nip if someone approaches while he’s eating. For this reason, he’d do best in a home without children where his space can be respected. Brody has yet to experience the outside world, so he’s not familiar with walks, car rides, or being crated. He may also bark or whine when left alone. Patience will be key for anyone looking to adopt him. He needs a loving environment where he can take his time to decompress, adjust, and develop confidence at his own pace. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
