Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Handsome, hunky Mr. Brando has been in foster care since June 2024, and he is SO ready to begin his new life as your very best baby boy!
Brando's background is a bit of a mystery, although it seems clear that he was someone's beloved pet before being picked up as a stray (and never reclaimed) back in May. Brando says, "I know I look a little intimidating with my big noggin and muscles, but underneath this brawn is the soul of a Loverboy."
Brando has been a perfect houseguest since Day 1 in his foster home: he has never had a single accident or incident of naughtiness, and in fact his foster mama doesn't even have to crate him because he is so well-behaved when left to his own devices. He gets along marvelously with the other female dogs in his household, and has a bouncy but gentle play style. Brando exhibits ZERO separation anxiety or resource guarding tendencies, and overall has been a delightful, low-maintenance house hippo.
He adores every human he meets—young and old, male and female, even the veterinarians who poke and prod him. He loves when people come visit him at home, and he has minded his manners particularly well around his foster's elderly parents (no jumping or mouthiness). He is highly intelligent AND food-motivated, which makes training him a dream. His foster mama has enrolled him in an "Introduction to Nosework" course, and so far he appears to be quite the prodigy!
He LOVES walks, and does not seem reactive to pedestrians, cyclists, or skateboarders; other dogs don't seem to bother him either (provided he can pass them at a reasonable distance—say, on the opposite sidewalk). He does pull on the leash out of excitement, but a front-clip harness helps curb this substantially.
Brando would enjoy living in a home with a smaller female dog, but he would also be perfectly happy as an only dog. Because he is strong (and, as noted, is an excited leash-puller), his primary handler should be someone who is comfortable managing a powerfully-built dog while working with him on loose-leash walking.
In summary, Brando is a fantastic fellow who loves the simple things in life: long walks, lazy mornings, abundant snuggles, and tasty snacks. He is so desperate for a forever family who can shower him with all the love he deserves, and in return he promises to be the most faithful companion you can imagine! Take a look into his soulful eyes, and picture life with your new best friend!
Breed Experience is a must for this guy - he's gorgeous but he needs someone who understands how he thinks!!

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
