Description:
12/16/24 01:44Doggy Day Out Report:Today I: Met 2 new friends and I rode in a car and I went for a long walk by a lake. I was pretty nervous at first, but my friends went slow for me, which helped a lot. Most of it was very fun, but I also sniffed and saw a big, scary pig â which made me VERY nervous! Thankfully my new friends got us away from the scary thing! I was still nervous, but then my friends gave me a stuffy and everything was sooo much better! I love stuffies!Three Words to Describe Me are: Careful â Gentle -- NervousNotes from My Walker: Brutus is such a sweet, gentyle boy, but he does find the world to be a little scary. He was quite nervous when we first met, but a slow, gentle approach worked well to build his confidence. At the car, he was hesitant to get in, but allowed help. When walking, he was excited to sniff and explore. We noticed that shadows made him nervous, but he would recover quickly. However, once he sensed the boar on the trail, his nervousness was a great help! Because he alerted us to something wrong, we saw the boar well in advance and quickly went the opposite direction! Later on the walk, I offered Brutus a toy and discovered that this boy LOVES stuffies! He walked happily with the toy in his mouth and kept it in the car. Once back at the shelter, he got to keep his new friend. Brutus will do well with a family who will give him time and gentle treatment. He is a sensitive boy and deserves a loving, forever family.10/31/24 10:12Reason animal needs rescue: Brutus is a large male shepherd/pit mix that needs out of the shelter. He is stressed in kennel but once out, he will seek attention from people. Type: BehaviorImpound type: ConfiscateAdditional notes: Brutus would benefit from an adult household that can work on socializing him and getting him use to new environments. Brutus has a hard time in crowded or novel places. He will bond with the human walking him and he may guard that human so we are recommending an adult home.
