My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Where do you go when you need to get from one place to the other? The bus stop! And that’s exactly where Brave was found- waiting patiently on a bus stop bench for a ride to a better life. For now, he’s at PACC, but his ultimate destination is to a loving home of his very own!!

Despite his courageous name, Brave was a little bit overwhelmed when he first came to the shelter. He quickly came around, though, and has a smile and a tail wag for everyone these days! Here’s what some of his volunteer friends have had to say:

“I had Brave and his kennelmate in a play yard this morning and boy are they a perfect pair! They are both incredibly friendly, sweet, and affectionate! Brave is particularly snuggly and friendly; this was my first time meeting him and you would have thought that we’d been friends for years! He played with his kennelmate a little bit, but mainly wanted to be by my side getting snuggles and belly rubs. He`s a very good boy!”

“Brave is a handsome guy who has no problems greeting new friends! He was so friendly and playful when I met him today. In the play yard he loved snuggling against my side while giving me kisses; it’s absolutely adorable. Really nice dog. He is very responsive to direction. I think he would do so well in a home that can give him regular attention, structure, and training, since he’s clearly eager to please. This smiley guy has so much potential!”

Brave shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Ask to meet this very Brave boy today!!
