Everybody loves Brady

Brady is a dog's dog. Everyone loves him, he's every dog's best friend. He's big enough to play with Sparky and any shepherd, but small enough to play nicely with Teddy and even little Pi.
He's never been intimidated by a dog of any size and seems to enjoy mixing it up with the big boys like Chance (adopted).
Brady is the first dog that most new fosters get to meet at our place and he shows them around and gives a pretty good introduction. It seems to put them at ease to see how happy he is.


I'm not sure I've ever met a human equivalent to Brady. If such a person exists, he or she gets along with everyone, enjoys many different activities and styles of play, and loves everyone but is looking for one special person to bond with.

Brady will sit and pose for the camera, looking directly at you without the least bit of self consciousness. So why is he still here with me instead of being in a home of his own? Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

He's great at adoption events. He works the crowd well, is cute, sweet, and loving. He's been in two different homes, neither of which worked out. He was too rowdy, hard-headed, and wild for the first. In the second home, he had matured a bit and a lot of those problems were gone. However, he developed such an attachment on one person in the home that he didn't want anyone else around. That could be handled in right (child-free) home, but we haven't found it yet.

Brady will find a home. You just have to wait until the right folks appear. Maybe he would like a home with another dog to show him the ropes and be his #1 buddy.
