Meet Brinkley, a senior dog with a heart overflowing with love. Her friendly demeanor is contagious, and her curious nature keeps life interesting. She is low energy but always ready to explore new things and places and might even jump a fence to fulfill her explorer tendencies. Her favorite activities are car rides, running, walks, chase, and wrestling. Gentle and smart, Brinkley is always eager to learn new tricks, proving that you can indeed teach an old dog new tricks. She already knows the sit, stay, come, no, and down commands and is house trained. She`s also quite the cuddle bug, always ready for a good snuggle after plopping her 56-pound body onto a lap for petting. However, Brinkley needs to be the only pet in the house, as she can be a possessive of her toys and doesn`t behave well when seeing dogs out in public. No cats either. Because of her possessiveness of her stuff, she`ll need to live with kids at least 15 years old. Around older children she is submissive, easygoing, friendly, and gentle. She`s a great guard dog, ready to keep her home safe and peaceful. She was originally given up after many years because her family moved to a place where she wasn`t allowed to live. She is best suited for a home where her humans are there most of the time and she has access to a yard. She`ll also need a heavy-duty kennel when those thunderstorms come around because her anxiety has led her to break out of insufficient ones. Despite her quirks, lovable Brinkley`s gentle, calm loving nature and playful spirit make her the perfect companion for a family ready to give her the love and attention she deserves. (tw 12/17/2024)
