Brody's Story

******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************<br/><br/>We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.<br/><br/>___<br/><br/>Meet Brody a 5 year-old, 65-pound neutered male Cattle Dog/Pitbull mix with the perfect mix of playful energy and easygoing charm.<br/><br/>Currently in a foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS, Brody is ready to transport out of state once his forever family is approved.<br/><br/>Brody is that rare, wonderful balance of being active enough to enjoy outdoor adventures and mellow enough to fully embrace a lazy day of Netflix and cuddles. Whether hes chasing a toy in the backyard or melting into your side with his signature tongue-out smile, Brody is the definition of a lovable goofball. He doesnt mind getting dressed up for holidays or themed events—hes happy to strut in his rodeo best or festive costume, just as long as hes doing it with his people.<br/><br/>Brody has done best with friendly, laid-back female dogs and tends to prefer a more relaxed playmate. Because of his size and love for running, he may be a bit much for smaller or more timid dogs, but hes also fully content being your one-and-only pup, as long as he has space to stretch his legs and get some zoomies out in the yard. A home with a secure backyard is ideal for him to enjoy some off-leash play.<br/><br/>Hes a gentle sweetheart with people—always happy to meet new faces and has done well with the children hes met. Because of his playful energy, we recommend a home with older, dog-savvy kids (810+) who are steady on their feet and understand how to respectfully interact with dogs. Brody would love nothing more than a buddy to play with, run around the yard, and then wind down with for snuggles. No cats for Brody, please, as hes not quite sure how to share space with feline friends.<br/><br/>When it comes to leash manners, Brody is a total gentleman. He walks calmly on a loose leash, stays close by, and enjoys a good stroll. Hes also fully housebroken and crate trained, and does wonderfully in his crate when left unsupervised, especially since he currently shares a home with other dogs. He loves his plush toys—especially giving their faces a little customization with his enthusiastic chomps!<br/><br/>Brody is smart, food-motivated, and eager to please. He thrives in a home that offers structure, consistency, and encouragement. His foster mom has put in great work helping him polish his obedience skills, and hes made huge progress! While he may still get a little excited around assertive male dogs, with calm guidance and continued positive experiences, hes continued to show how well he can adapt.<br/><br/>He would be a great match for someone with experience with Cattle Dogs, Pitbulls, or other intelligent working breeds. These dogs are deeply loyal, affectionate, and thrive when they have a purpose—whether thats going on a hike, learning a new trick, or just being your loyal shadow. Brody doesnt need a super active lifestyle, but he would love a couple of daily walks, light adventure time, and maybe a fun activity like scent work, agility, or basic obedience classes to keep his mind sharp and his bond with you strong.<br/><br/>At the end of the day, Brody is a happy, affectionate, low-maintenance boy whos easy to please. All he wants is a soft bed, a few toys, a cozy home, and someone to love him. Hes come so far during his time in foster care and is more than ready to start his next chapter with a family who sees how truly special he is.<br/>___<br/><br/>***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
