Braxton

Braxton is an 11 year old, 81-pound mixed-breed sweetheart.  He’s loving, playful, happy, and George-Clooney handsome.  He’s been melting the hearts of staff and volunteers left and right during his time at the shelter.

Braxton is potty trained but has an old man bladder so may not last 8+ hours. Who wants to hold it that long?! The shelter was told he did fine being left alone inside with no destructive behaviors.

He has lived with a 9 and 10 year old kids, and it sounds like he did well wit them.  It is best that Braxton finds a home with kids old enough to understand that senior dogs may have achy spots that don’t want to be touched.

Braxton lived with cats he was scared of. Staff say they don’t know how that played out but perhaps his forever home could be with a cat that doesn’t cause his knees to shake, or even better, be cat-free.

Staff is still assessing dog compatibility for Braxton but he may prefer to be the only dog as he has not lived with them before.  If you have another mellow dog that just wants to coexist, it would be worth a meet and greet.

Braxton’s ideal home would take him on regular short walks or a jaunt around the yard.  The rest of the time, he’d love to be on the couch with you for snuggles and movie time.  He looooves treats and will give you full-time tail wags for sharing some with him.  This guy has so much love and joy  to share!
