About Branson

Branson is currently in foster care in Houston, Texas. This playful boy is around 1 year old and weighs 14 lbs. With his beautiful long, soft grey and white coat and curly tail, he’s hard to resist. Branson is an energetic companion who loves to chase other dogs around, though he can be a bit overwhelming for smaller ones not in the mood to play. When he's not zooming about, he enjoys resting at your feet. Although he seems well house trained, he's not perfect just yet, and he can get excited on a leash, pulling while exploring. A secure, fully fenced yard is essential for him, and he would thrive with another dog that matches his energy or could be an only pet. Branson hasn't quite learned to curb the puppy nips, so homes with children under 8 won't be a fit. This pup has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on all vaccinations including Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, and Canine Influenza. The adoption fee is waived for this lovable dog, but experienced dog owners are a must. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
