My personality

My story

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

Brisket would make a wonderful companion for someone with an active lifestyle. He is friendly, fun and full of energy. Brisket is also eager to learn, and with very dedicated professional training will become a good canine citizen.

We would love to set Brisket up with someone who is willing to dedicate sufficient time to training and exercise. Given the right opportunity, we're certain that Brisket will flourish in his new home. Brisket would be an amazing candidate for dog sports, he has a lot of energy to burn! Our preference for this dog would be someone who has experience with working bred bully breeds. Due to his previous situation, we would prefer Brisket to be in a detached home with a yard. (may have previous trauma with small spaces. ie, apartments.)

Other Dogs: Yes, his size and well matched only
Cats: We are unable to test for cats
Kids: 16 + adult sized teenagers would be ok
Apartments: No
Walks: Needs a lot of work on leash manners, pulls hard.
New People: Yes, loves them.... a LOT
Other notes: Brisket needs a dog experienced adopter, not fit for first time dog owners.

More about this shelter

Want to adopt a pet and give them a forever home? We're thrilled! Our pro-adoption shelter places 200 to 300 dogs and small animals every year with families and homes that best meet the needs of the animals.

We have dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. While puppies are popular, older dogs can be great pets, too. They are smart and grateful companions that won't leave you with puppy puddles or chewed-up slippers. Why not enrich your life and that of an older dog?

We also adopt out small animals including rabbits, hamsters, birds, rats, guinea pigs, and sometimes reptiles.
