Brodie

This adorable 3 year old Boxer mix once had a loving home. You see…his family was in the military…they got deployed…they didn't want him to go to a shelter as we all know what happens there, so they surrendered him to a "rescue." Sadly, the rescue turned into a hoarding situation and Brodie along with many other dogs and cats found themselves both starved for food and affection. When we heard about Brodie we immediately rescued him from the property. He is an AWESOME boy! Great with kids, other dogs (big and small), house trained and knows some commands. Brodie is fun, playful, and very smart. He was loved once and deserves that happiness again. FAST FORWARD: We rescued Brodie last February. He was a runner and a jumper. We couldn't leave him in the backyard without tethering him to a rope. He got out of our property 10+ times and my husband would have to chase him 3-5 miles each time. Sometimes he would come back on his own and sit across the street staring at us, but wouldn't come to us for hours. He is a nervous doggy in new situations, but after some training and time, he finally trusts us. He is mostly an indoor dog now and when he goes outside he stays in the yard and doesn't jump! My husband walks him off leash and he loves sitting in our front yard watching the kids play. Most importantly he is part of our family and we love him!
