My story

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

Here is Brutus` report card from Tails and Trails!

What did we do on today’s adventure: Once my new human friend clipped on theadventure leash, I knew this was going to be a fun day! I jumped into the car right away, eager to get on with our adventure.

The car ride was smooth like a belly rub. I just chilled in the back, watching the world zoom by.

Then! Oh boy, then we arrived at this magical place. Trees everywhere! And the ground smelled like a million different things! My nose went into overdrive. Sniff, sniff, SNIFF! There were so many exciting messages on every blade of grass and every tree trunk. I just had to read them all.

I did five miles of pure sniffing and zooming around the trail. Sometimes I getexcited about squirrels or these mysterious critters that run across the trail and need to investigate, but then I remember to check in with my human to make sure that is ok to do. Afterall, they always seem to have yummy treats in theirpocket.

Lots of other humans went by on the path, some running, some walking, some on those two-wheeled things. I didn`t bark or anything silly. I just watched them go by; I`m a cool dude like that.

In the car ride back, I snoozed a bit dreaming of squirrels and new smells!14/10 - today was awesome!

What should potential adopters know about me:Brutus immediately trusted me when I came to pick him up. He seems to get on more with humans than dogs. He didn’t react to other dogs to the trail, but he was definitely interested and trying to pull towards them. He can be a strong puller, so it will take someeffort to manage him on walks, but if you engage him with treats he can develop a really solid “heel”. He will definitely be fixated on the human at the other end of the leash and want to engage with you.He just loves being right next to you for pets and will give you plenty of kisses in return. He’s very calm during car rides and will jump right in for a fun time.

Three words to describe me: Goofy, Sweet, Trusting

Here are some notes on Brutus from one of his fosters:
Brutus is a silly, excitable boy who would make a great adventure buddy! He seeks out back rubs and only wants to be loved by his people. He is a snuggly boy once he settles down and gets familiar with his surroundings.

My family took Brutus on a 4-day getaway. He panted anxiously during his first car ride. But by the end of the second day, he had alread
