About Branson

Branson is a young and spirited dog currently in foster care in Houston, Texas. This playful boy, weighing around 14 lbs, has a stunning thick gray and white coat complemented by a big curly tail. He brings high energy to the playtime scene, happily chasing after other dogs, but can be a bit overwhelming for smaller dogs who might not share his enthusiasm. When he's not active, you'll find him resting at your feet, recharging for his next adventure. While Branson displays good house training, he still has a bit of that puppy nipping and can get excited on a leash—meaning he'll benefit from some extra training. He needs a completely secure, fenced yard to play in and would thrive either with another playful dog or as the only pet. As a reminder, he is best suited for homes without kids under 8 years old and requires an experienced dog owner for his adoption. Branson comes fully vaccinated, microchipped, and altered, so all he needs now is a loving home. Your new best friend is just one click away.
