My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Branson is just the most super affectionate, sweet-natured, special needs pup looking for his forever home! Branson doesn’t need much in the way of help dealing with his needs, just maybe a little assistance getting up and down from the sofa, but once he’s there, he’s ready to assume ‘lapdog’ cuddle status!

Branson loves everybody of all ages, loves going on walks, enjoys his toys, (Kongs, ropes, and hard rubber toys are his faves) and just being where the action is at home, as he’s also a super curious, bright-as-a-button young man!

In fact, anywhere you are, especially if you’re doling out yummy treats and bully sticks, that’s where this friendly boy wants to be! Branson is also fine being by himself for a few hours while you’re out and is very good about amusing himself with his toys or chew sticks. For a young boy, he’s very well behaved, already knows several commands, and would love to learn more, so you’ll have a very willing student for the price of a few treatos!

Are you Branson’s new family? If you are ready to snuggle up to this gentle, all-round excellent young boy, you couldn’t wish for a better doggy companion!
