Here's what the humans have to say about me:
June 2016 update: Brie is such an awesome girl! She is active and beautiful, and a world champion snuggler. Her foster mom gave us some helpful information, “She definitely needs to continue to have someone who is active, will go for jogs, runs, walks with her. And someone calm and gentle but assertive. I rarely crate her at home, but when I do she's okay. Sometimes after a bath she gets a little crazy and the crate calms her, but I don't make it a punishment. I tell her she's a good girl and take her out when she is lying down. BUT it needs to be only big enough for her to curl up and sleep so she doesn’t use it for a bathroom. I've left her home alone uncrated up to 5 hours with no accidents, but I take her outside immediately before I leave and make sure she's gone to the bathroom. It only took a little time for her to be able to become secure with house training and be trusted uncrated. Early on I brought her out as frequently as you might a puppy and she learned very quickly. But she will go in other people's houses though if you don't take her out frequently. Definitely a nervous habit.
In the car she's good but will try and get into any food available. I take her for rides quite a bit while I do an errand but she will bark at dogs.
She's been fine with kids, but not selective with her initial jumping and will take food from them. If they have food, she can get excited, so I would keep her separated from them until they've finished eating, especially little kids. We have worked with the trainer on the issues with food, counter surfing, etc. I can share the info with a new family.
Brie is not anxious at home at all. She's actually super calm, just still gets very excited when people get here and she jumps on them. She should be introduced on a leash. She does well with a Halti harness. She is only anxious 1% of the time, when meeting new people and dogs and at boarding places. Otherwise her temperament is sweet, relaxed and playful. I've notice she will match the mood/energy of her person, so that's something to keep in mind. She will do very well with consistency. At night she sleeps on my bed and sleeps 9-10 hours. She does not have accidents in her bed or mine."
Brie has benefited greatly from training work and continuing her training is a must so she can use her smart brain. She loves other dogs, but proper introductions are important. She LOVES cats and kittens (in a good and very sweet way). She has some dog friends that are little and a new puppy friend that she has been great with. She is a typical hound dog so will follow her nose. We have discovered that Brie will jump a four foot fence from a standstill; she will need a taller fence and/or to be kept on leash or long lead. We also found out at a Dock Dogs event that Brie likes the water!
Brie can not eat fish-based food but does well with poultry. We had been told Brie is about four years old but a trainer who worked with her thought she might be younger, maybe 1 1/2 to 2 years or so. She weighs 53 lbs but she is very tall. She knows some commands and is eager to please. She is affectionate with her humans and loves to snuggle at bedtime or TV watching time. She loves to play fetch and chase sticks in the yard and is learning to bring them back. She needs some appropriate things to chew when she is in the house or she will find her own things.
Brie is such a love! We are so looking forward to Brie finding the perfect forever family, she is a sensitive girl, for instance she will cower if there is yelling in the home. She needs an active home with older kids or just adults, with consistency and patience, and lots of love for this silly sweet long-legged hound dog! Check out her video!

Please note, we do not have a physical facility where our dogs are housed, they are cared for in our network of wonderful foster homes throughout New England. If you find a dog you would like to meet, our expectation is that, once approved, you will travel to meet the dog in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved.
