Story
About Me Meet sweet Brut who was born into SCGRR when his mom, Bubbles, was brought from Mexico. He was adopted as a puppy and due to unforeseen circumstances, Brut (renamed Lalu) was relinquished to SCGRR. Brut is a very sweet boy who is approximately three years old. He spent the majority of his life as part of a bonded pair. The pair was recently separately as his fur sibling may have been the dominant of the two. Brut now finds himself for the first time navigating the world solo. He is good around adults, kids, and other dogs. Brut is velcro and will follow you everywhere. He loves being in your space and often leans into you. Brut takes treats gently, loves to please his humans, is loyal, and is very intelligent. Brut is potty trained and has had no accidents in his foster home. He is not vocal, but will stand at the door should he need to go out. Brut knows basic commands like: sit, stay, come, ‘no’, and focus. He also loves retrieving a tennis ball and will even play soccer if you have a soccer ball. While indoors, Brut exhibits low energy, and is content to snuggle up next to you on a couch, or just lounge around during the day. In the evenings he sleeps soundly and hardly moves at night. He enjoys walks and pulls lightly on his day walks. He pulls a little harder on evening walks when he is more alert and protective of his human, and he is improving in this area. Brut has a strong prey drive. He does not live with a cat in his foster home, but he would do best in a home with no small animals. During his walks he will pull if he sees a rabbit or squirrel. He is also protective of his backyard when it comes to rodents. Brut is still learning to be comfortable on leash out in the world. He will bark and pull when he sees another dog. His foster home has been working with him and he is slowly improving in this area. His new home will need to provide him ongoing support and training. Brut currently doesn’t like to be left alone and will bark and be stressed when left completely alone. His foster family has been working with him and he has been improving, but his new home will need to provide Brut ongoing training and support in this area. As Brut learns to navigate the world on his own, he can sometimes display anxiety and unease at times. This comes out as whining and whimpering, but not aggression. This might be the result of him not getting out much in his prior home and experiencing the world as well as being separated from his dominant sibling. Brut would do well with a home that is patient and understanding, but at the same time can get him out to experience more of the world and socialize him. Despite his training needs, one of Brut’s greatest assets is his intelligence. He is a super smart dog. He picks-up on your cues as to what you want. When training him, he learns quickly. Although Brut is low energy most of the day, he is a very athletic dog. He has lots of endurance and stamina. He would do best with an owner that needs a companion on daily runs, strenuous walks, or hikes. These activities would also help with his anxiety. My Ideal Home Brut would do well in a variety of homes. He is a very sweet dog that loves humans. His ideal home is an owner that is patient and has the time to dedicate to his training needs. He would do best with an owner that works from home. Brut loves children, and would do best in a home with older children (10 years and older) that are more independent and compete less for the owner’s time. Brut needs to learn to navigate the world on his own, and at the same time he would do well with a fur sibling. He has started to bond with one of his fur siblings in his foster home, and it puts him a little more at ease to navigate the world in partnership with another dog. Want to Adopt me?
