RECOMMENDATIONS: Experience (Suitable for an adopter with a previous amount of dog experience) _X_No young children (under 5) (Due to Brawnie’s bite history, we recommend a home without young children. He has shown restraint in the care center and has not demonstrated any warnings of aggression, but when highly aroused Brawnie has shown a willingness to bite.) _X_No cats _X_Single-pet home (We cannot be certain of how behavior may change outside the care center but Brawnie has had successful interactions several times, but due to the rapid escalation and severity of one interaction we recommend a home without other dogs at first. After an acclimation period in which Brawnie adjusts to his new home and his adopters get to know him better, this decision can be re-evaluated (with the help of a qualified trainer, if needed).) _X_Recommend no dog parks
