Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Brick, aka Bricky boy, is a 7-year-old gentleman who has truly mastered the art of living the good life. He’s a shorter, stocky Lab weighing in around 110 lbs (currently on a health journey that includes lots of walks and a reasonable diet so he can look good for summer—he’s very brave about it).
Brick has diabetes insipidus, requiring him to take a daily pill. This is absolutely not a problem for Brick, as long as said pill is hidden under a piece of food…or better yet, wrapped lovingly in turkey or tucked inside a pill pocket. He has standards. As long as he gets his pill, his symptoms are managed and are of no concern🙂
This sweet old man is delightfully low-key. Most of his day is spent sleeping, lounging, looking out the window, or slowly wandering between his two favorite dog beds like a retired king inspecting his castle. Brick is not a fan of kennels and made that very clear upon arrival, but since he’s fully potty trained, house trained, and not destructive, he now enjoys free rein of the upstairs—and he’s been thriving ever since.
Brick is a world-class snuggler. He will happily lay on top of you if permitted, and while he sleeps through the night on his dog bed, he’s more than willing to share a human bed if you help him up. Couch privileges are not a concern—whether due to laziness or being pleasantly rotund, Brick cannot get up there on his own.
While he is definitely a laid-back guy, Brick does enjoy his walks. He plays “follow the leader” and walks directly behind you, never pulling on the leash. He’s gentle enough that a kid could walk him with ease.
One of Brick’s most charming quirks? When he gets excited or receives pets, he does a little hop with his front legs And gives you a big smile—an unexpectedly adorable move for a dog his size.
Brick isn’t particularly interested in toys or bones, but he is interested in people, other dogs, and kids. He’s easygoing, friendly, and wonderfully low-maintenance—just a sweet, mellow companion looking for a cozy home and a soft place to nap.
If you’re searching for a calm, affectionate dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Brick might just be your perfect match. 🧡

More about this shelter
We are a small shelter that rescues pets from local impounds whose time is up, and would otherwise be euthanized. We only have 9 dog kennels and 26 cat kennels; as many of 80% of the animals in our care are located in foster homes throughout the community at any time. We are very limited on space within our shelter and often, we can't take in owner surrenders, but will do our best to help give guidance about rehoming pets.
We offer several services besides adoption, including microchip clinics and pet-friendly rental housing listings.
We are the only shelter in the FM area that rescues both cats and dogs, so without our help, hundreds of dogs and cats would be euthanized each year in local pounds.
