About Brandy

Brandy is a 5-year-old Cocker Spaniel with a gentle spirit. Initially, she came into rescue with fear and trust issues, often feeling threatened by touch. Thanks to a patient foster home and calming medications, she's made significant progress. But this sweet girl will thrive best in a calm adult-only household where she can take her time to adjust to new experiences at her own pace. A secure backyard where a neighbor can toss her treats will make her feel at home. Brandy is crate trained and remains well-behaved when left out of her kennel. She enjoys the company of other dogs but tends to bark at cats. A home without small children is ideal, as she prefers gentle interaction and might not enjoy immediate cuddles. Given the right environment, Brandy will flourish and become a cherished companion. If you think you could be the right fit for Brandy, please reach out and complete an application today.
