Description:
Please contact Virginia ([email protected]) for more information about this pet. Email T.A.R.A. | T.A.R.A.'s Web Site | On-Line Application Get ready to welcome home your forever best friend and most loyal protector! Brute is looking for a home that has loving adults and other furry friends, but no little kids (he is nervous around kiddos). He is the biggest sweetheart you will ever meet and loves all adventures from traveling the country, to playing in the dog park, to hiking, to snuggling on the couch for a movie night in! When you’re sick, Brute will snuggle with you and make sure you feel better quick! He takes a minute to warm up to new people, but he loves treats to smooth the transition! Also, he does not like his ears to be messed with (I mean who does, right?)! His tail is a huge tell concerning his comfort level. If it’s wagging, he’s good!:) Also, he will warn you of intruders, once when someone stole a bike off my front porch, Brute warned me by barking very loudly at the front door! Also, Brute is the best brewery, winery, or coffee shop companion! He will sit quietly by your side and be your silent companion (of course sneaking in a pet now and then – but he will not bark at other dogs passing). Some of Brute’s favorite things to do include going to the dog park (Brute never met a furry friend he did not love….though some cats were not so sure about Brute), get pup cups from local coffee shops and Andy’s Frozen Custard, go for car rides, explore new states (sniffing is his favorite hobby), and most importantly snuggles (on the couch and bed, because mom loves to snuggle)!! Brute is a couch potato at heart and Saturday mornings his favorite thing to do is sleep in, snuggle and watch a cartoon, and then go on a long walk to a coffee shop (pup cup included is his favorite). Brute is the most loyal companion you will ever know, and all he asks in return is lots of love! He is a protector, but as long as he knows his family trusts a new comer to the home, he is perfectly happy welcoming new friends. Likes/Loves: Treats, Dropped food on the floor, sunbathing, dog parks – he loves all dogs & has many furry friends (he was a great big brother when I fostered a puppy for a short time), and greeting mom everytime she comes home – he will be your best friend and loyal protector Dislikes: Blow Up Yard Décor (he will bark at it like it will attack you if you’re not careful), Being left at the border, Being sprayed with water from a hose, and Elevators (the glass one he had to ride up to mom’s apartment when I first fostered him was the worst) Notes: To Brute’s next forever home, I will send his bed, his jacket, his monthly simparica and heartworm medicine, leash/color, and other miscellaneous items that are his.:) If you have any questions about Brute reach out to his current mom (Maggie Donoho – 913-674-6208) anytime!
