About BRODY

BRODY was saved with 31 other dogs from a breeding situation that was not too good. BRODY is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, heart-worm/tick disease tested negative, de-wormed, monthly preventatives and micro-chipped. He weighs around 17 pounds and is estimated to be around 5 years old. When we picked BRODY up he had been living in a bedroom with many other dogs, none were fixed and were all very smelly, not house-trained and marked all the time. Being at the rescue with access to outdoors Brody and his family have learnt the dog door and enjoy going outside in the fresh air. He 'might' still mark, this is something a family must be prepared to deal with, however, since he has now been fixed and not living with many other male and female dogs who were constantly breeding, that necessity is not there. Although he does use the dog door to go out, he is not going to know to let you know he wants to go outside and so the family must be prepared to work on house-training and understand this could take time. BRODY is a happy-go-lucky boy who is very friendly and affectionate. Although around 5 years old he is still young and so needs a family that does get out on walks and is willing to take him on adventures and let him start enjoying life outside of a bedroom. Brody has had no training at all and so an understanding family is needed to work on not just house training, but leash training and basic obedience, he seems he wants to please so with time and patience it most likely won't be hard. BRODY does need a proper grooming, he has been given a few baths whilst here at the rescue and did great, but he needs to be cared for properly and regular groomings be done to be sure his coat stays in good condition and doesn't get matted which can be uncomfortable and painful. Grooming can be expensive, so please be sure this is an expense that you can afford and have time to take him for. Since Brody has come from an 'in-breeding' situation it is vital that his vet knows this and annual check ups, with blood work if advised be done, to rule out, or catch any potential conditions as he gets older. Brody has been great with all the other dogs and people he has met, we have not seen him with cats or livestock so cannot comment on how he will be around them. BRODY is available for adoption for an adoption fee of US $550. Canadian adopters need to know that customs charge 15% taxes when entering into Canada. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.
