🐾 Are you ready for a bundle of joy, silliness, and endless cuddles? Look no further, because Brock is here to steal your heart! This playful and happy boy is a true people-lover, thriving on companionship and affection. This meaty boy is just a baby at heart. He is currently rocking a cone for a few days, but he doesn't let that get him down in the least. Brock is a master of "sit" and is very patient awaiting his reward. He loves pets and back scratches and is very treat motivated.
Brock's former family raved about his love for sunbathing and his love of rope and chew toys. He did well with children of all ages and has a knack for making everyone around him smile. When he wasn't busy spreading joy, you could find him frolicking in his favorite blankets and rolling around with pure delight.
During his time in a temporary foster home, Brock's foster parents were captivated by his larger-than-life personality. He's not just a dog; he's a character! From pretending to be asleep in order to claim the entire bed to his playful antics, Brock is guaranteed to keep you entertained. He loves to give you big smiles.
But don't let his playful nature fool you-Brock also knows how to unwind and enjoy some quality snuggle time. He's incredibly tolerant and even lets his foster mom brush his teeth without complaint. Plus, he's already housetrained, making him the perfect addition to any loving home.
When it comes to other furry friends, Brock is mostly gentle, although he can get a bit rowdy at times. He thrives best with tolerant companions and kindly requests to meet any potential doggie roommates to ensure a paw-some match.
Ready to welcome 68 pounds of pure silliness and fun into your life? Come meet Brock at BARCS and discover why he's the perfect furry friend for you! 💕

Step 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website. Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. Check www.barcs.org for our adoption process for animals in foster homes.

More about this shelter
BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. We are an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
