About Branson

Branson is currently in foster care in Houston, Texas, and he's ready for adoption. This spirited boy is around a year old and weighs approximately 14 lbs. His thick, soft grey and white coat and big curly tail make him look adorable. Branson has a playful personality and loves to chase after other dogs when he wants to play, though he can be a bit too much for smaller dogs. While Branson has high energy during playtime, he enjoys settling down at your feet to recharge. He's still got some of that puppy nip, so he'd do best in a home without small children. Branson is mostly house trained but could use some additional work on a leash as he tends to pull. He would thrive in a secured, fenced yard and could either have a buddy to play with or enjoy being the only dog. The $500 adoption fee includes a fully spayed/neutered dog with up-to-date vaccinations, including Rabies, Dhpp, Bordetella, and Canine Influenza. Branson needs an experienced dog owner who can appreciate his energy. If you’d like to bring this lovable pup into your home, please check out the application on our website. Think you are the one?
