She has been around children ages 4+ & owner stated that she was relaxed and respectful around the children.

Brandi does not have a bite history. Behavior: When there are fireworks or thunderstorms outgoing, Brandi becomes nervous and will try to hide. She is not bothered when someone takes away her food, treats or toys, being pushed off furniture, being given a bath, having her nails trimmed, being held/restrained or when unfamiliar people would approach owner’s home or yard. For a New Family to Know: Brandi is described as friendly, affectionate, mellow and independent. She has a medium activity level and likes to play with bones. Owner kept Brandi mostly indoors only and fed her only dry food (brand not given). As per owner, Brandi is house trained and would only have accidents in the home if she was sick. When she was left alone in the home or yard, Brandi was well behaved. She has never been crate trained so behavior is unknown. Brandi knows the cues sit, come and stay. For exercise, owner would take her on slow walks on the leash or let her out in the yard to play. When Brandi is on the leash, she does not pull. Owner was able to walk her off leash and stated that Brandi would stay by her side the whole time.

05/30/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Brandi is a pretty dog; she has long long legs, and soulful brown eyes. Brandi is understandably upset to be at the shelter. Brandi seems like the kind of dog who loves her “person” with her whole heart but also has the maturity to rest independent from them. Brandi would rather have Milk Bones instead of meatballs, which left me wondering if perhaps my meatball making skills needed some fine tuning. All in all, Brandi is a sweet girl needing a new place to call home. If you’re interested in adopting Brandi, please come to the Care Center and meet her.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Date of initial 5/23/2017 During her initial medical exam, Brandi was tense, growling, and allowed limited handling. ENERGY LEVEL: Her owner describes Brandi as having a medium activity level. In the care center, Brandi displays a low level of energy, though this may be due to environment.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially in the behavior outlined below) _X_No young children (under 5)- – Brandi seems a bit uncomfortable with quick movements and may be most comfortable in a home without very young children. Older, dog-savvy young children can be considered pending interaction. Potential challenges: _X_Handling/touch sensitivity – Brandi has been noted to become uncomfortable with handling at times. It is important to always go slow, Brandi should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. Brandi may do best in a calm and quiet home environment and spoken to in a soft, gentle voice.
