Once upon a time a beautiful little white furball was born, half Husky and half Australian Shepherd. Over the next few years this little girl grew up tough, lost her right rear leg and became blind in both eyes, was turned in to the shelter, adopted out, then found herself unwanted again after biting the family rabbit - something every one of our doggies would do.
That's when we met this sweetie Brody, even as her few earthly belongings were handed over, we were immediately making friends, and she walked confidently forth, tail high and wagging and we fell in love with her. :-) Brody settled into our van for the long ride home, comfortable and soon sleeping; Brody knew she was safe now.
We placed Brody in her own bedroom, as we were told she didn't get along with other doggies. Brody met Hound Houdini Day One and they are still fast friends, Val and Brodie and blind Roscoe often sleep together, Brodie has walked tandem with toughies Xinda and Gretel, waited out storms (she's terrified of them) with Roscoe and Buffy and Peanut-the-Nut, and when outside the rough Hippy is her fence neighbor with no issues. Still, unlike some of our pack, Brody does prefer humans.
With humans Brody is a total love, she so enjoys attention and interaction, petting and loving and gives great kisses. Brody is also very smart and ALWAYS happy with her beautiful tail high in joy. Brody is house-trained, walks perfectly on leash, has the most beautiful thick fur, is totally healthy and UTD on shots/preventatives, and has an amazing ability to "map" areas so rarely bumps in to things. Brody sails up and down stairs and loves walks, playing outside, her chewies and squeakies, cuddling up with you, eating and sleeping.
Brody is missing a leg and her vision yet she is not handicapped - Brody is ALWAYS happy and positive. What Brody is really missing is her Furever Home that she can belong and thrive in - is that you? If you'll provide this angel Brody a lifetime good home, you will be loved forever by Brody, and that is a beautiful reality. Please enjoy Brody pics and email for videos and thank you for considering Brody. :-)~
