More about Brian

Meet Brian! This almost 3-year-old pup is looking for a new home. Brian is 50% Boxer, and the rest of his mix consists of Border Collie, German Shepherd, and miscellaneous breeds (12.5%). Brian is currently living in Burien, WA.  Brian loves to play but does better with older children as he doesn’t understand his size and can knock over smaller kids. He loves all dogs – big and small. He is very submissive to big dogs, and he plays down low with small dogs. Brian loves riding in the car, chasing critters – (rabbits, squirrels, mice, etc.), toys (he won’t destroy a stuffy), food, playing in the hose or pool, a tether ball, and a good bone. Brian is not a fan of getting his nails clipped or having his ears and feet touched.  Brian is great when it comes to going for long walks. He wears a prong collar when out and about though, so as to get proper communication from his handler on what is expected of him. He is also kennel trained and uses the doggy door to run in and out of the house all day. Brian can be left alone without destroying everything in the house; although he will steal food off the counter if anything is left out. Brian has started resource-guarding the infant living in his current home, which is why he needs a new forever home and family. However, he does not guard food, toys, or treats, just the baby. Brian knows a few commands like sit, kennel, down, and off, but he does not always listen, therefore, he’d benefit from some additional training which he’d enjoy doing with his new human(s). Brian will love to sleep in bed with you, although he’s not a particularly cuddly dog; but when he wants love, he will come sit in your lap.  Brian needs a strong leader who can earn his trust and respect. He's an active boy so he also needs a lot of exercise and a doggy friend to keep him entertained and busy. ***Currently, however, Brian is injured with a torn TPLO. He'll need some extra snuggles and some down time (no more zoomies for a little while). He's still a happy boy, just waiting for his forever family to come along. So, if you're looking for a great pup, who will be excited to learn new things from you, then Brian is your guy. Submit an application today-https://www.mustluvboxersrescue.com/adopt.
