Brian

Brian was found running loose in the shelter access lane. We don’t know if he found his way there on his own or if he was abandoned.
He is a big dog at 30with a unique personality. Initially, he was scared and uncooperative, demonstrating a clear desire to keep his distance from strangers. However, he quickly began to warm up to people and show a more affectionate side. He loves to cuddle and has a tendency to engage in playful hugs, which can sometimes be a little overwhelming. While Brian is generally non-aggressive and cooperative with familiar people, he has shown signs of discomfort around some people. He can (like some dogs do) react to what he sees as provocations, for example direct staring or unexpected movements. This just goes to show that he can be sensitive to unfamiliar situations.
Despite his gentle nature with people he knows, Brian’s size and strength can pose challenges when it comes to handling him, especially since he has never had any training and so doesn’t know any commands. Overall, Brian is a big-hearted dog looking for an experienced owner who understands him and can provide the training and structure he needs to develop.
