Brooklyn (25-076)

Introducing Brooklyn<br/><br/> Outgoing Affectionate Playful Snuggly <br/><br/>Personality: Brooklyn loves to snuggle and soak up attention. She thrives on being near her people and will happily curl up beside them or lean in for affection. While she can have a slightly stubborn streak, she has made wonderful progress with consistency and clear expectations. Brooklyn enjoys her walks and settles nicely into home life once she understands the routine.<br/><br/>Socialness: Brooklyn does very well with adults. She may bark briefly when someone enters the home, but she settles quickly and truly enjoys people. She can be a bit unaware of personal space simply because she loves being close. It is noted that Brooklyn previously did well with children ages 5 and up. In her current foster home, she has only been around a teen and has done great. Because of her size and enthusiasm, supervision around younger children is recommended.<br/><br/>Brooklyn previously lived with a medium-sized dog and cats. In her foster home, she lives with a calm male Great Dane and they get along very well. She tends to do best with calmer, non-dominant dogs. With smaller dogs or more assertive personalities, she can become overly excited and may not back down. With cats, Brooklyn has shown interest and will chase. She has put her mouth on the resident cat without causing harm, but she does bark and requires supervision and slow, structured introductions. A confident, dog-savvy cat would be best if placed in a feline home.<br/><br/>Likes: <br/><br/><br/> Snuggling with her people<br/> Walks<br/> Playing with toys<br/><br/><br/>Dislikes:<br/><br/><br/> Being kenneled when she can see her people<br/> Occasionally gets spooked about going outside<br/><br/><br/>Training: Brooklyn is crate-trained and goes in easily when asked. She sleeps in her kennel at night and is crated when no one is home. She can be destructive if left loose and may get into cabinets or food packaging. She knows kennel, out, potty, and sit. When she begins barking, responding to her name typically redirects her. Continued reinforcement of boundaries and consistency will help with her stubborn moments.<br/><br/>Health: Brooklyn is in good health. She does experience occasional urinary incontinence while asleep and may require waterproof bedding or pads in her kennel. It does not occur every night. She sometimes takes anti-anxiety medication as needed. She is approximately 102 pounds.<br/><br/>Forever Home Wishlist:<br/><br/><br/> Calm, consistent household<br/> Family gone no more than 6 hours at a time<br/> Best with calm, non-dominant dogs<br/> Structured supervision if living with cats<br/> Supervision with children under 10 due to size and enthusiasm<br/> Not ideal for apartment living due to reactivity to outside sounds<br/><br/><br/>Fun Fact: Brooklyn is a world-class snuggler who believes personal space is optional—if there is a couch (or a lap), she plans to be on it.<br/><br/>If you think Brooklyn will be a great addition to your family, please reach out to us by following one of the options below.<br/><br/>1.
