My name is Brooke!

Brooke is a gentle soul that doesn't understand why she is at a place that has cold, cement floors and constant barking. She misses the comfort of a loving home. The shelter had her listed as a terrier pit, but my Dog Scanner said she's a Canaan Dog/Basenji mix. She's one year old, weighs 36 pounds and arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 8/15. She was brought in by one of our officers. She's on the timid side but warms up with a slow introduction. She is sensitive around her neck. Leashes and scarves scare her. She will need work on this so she is not reactive. Once she has a leash on she walks very well on it. With time spent, and TLC she becomes your BFF. She sits for treats and takes them gently. Actually, I just shook the bag with the treats, and she came running and sat down. She's well mannered, calm, gentle, sweet, and affectionate. She is cautiously friendly. I called her when she was out in the yard, and she came running up to me. She did her business in the yard. She was not interested in meeting other dogs, but probably because she was intimidated. If you have another dog we always suggest you ask the shelter for a dog test. I had her outside briefly and she let me know she wanted to be inside where it was cooler. She wants to be mostly an inside dog and enjoy chilling out with her new family.
