Brooks is very welcoming and loves attention. He’s happiest when he’s close to his people. On walks, he can pull and lurch a bit, but he’s been doing very well with a gentle leader.
He has not had any accidents in the house. On the first day, he did scent mark a few times, but that stopped immediately as he settled in. He originally arrived with soft stools, but after a few weeks of consistent food, his digestion has improved, and his stools have firmed up nicely.
Brooks came with a few ticks and tested positive for a tick-borne infection. No treatment is required, and he’s doing well.
He doesn’t know formal commands yet, but he naturally does many of the behaviors we ask for—he just doesn’t know them on cue. He is food-motivated and will likely learn quickly with continued training.
Brooks kennels well when I’m out of the house. He may bark occasionally, especially if he sees a cat or squirrel outside, but otherwise does fine.He currently lives with two other dogs and fits in nicely with them. He would do well in a home with other dogs or would be perfectly content as an only dog.
Brooks is a loving, gentle boy who will make a wonderful companion for the right family.
