Brinda

My story

I`m in a foster home! To adopt me, please email my foster parent, Jackie, at braithwaitejd7@gmail.com. Jackie is happy to arrange a meet and greet with you!Brinda is the most beautiful brindle girl...hence the name Brinda! Brinda, who I have affectionately doved `Bea`, is the sweetest girl. She is hands down the most affectionate dog I have EVER cared for. She wants to constantly cuddle on the couch and in bed. She LOVES sleeping together...it is her love language. She loves to have her head on your legs or be curled up against your chest. At 8pm, Brinda is ready for bed for the night! Brinda is medium energy. She stays in the crate while I am at work (9a-5p) and does a great job. She is now working on being outside of the crate while I am gone (so far we have successfully done 2 hours wahooo!). I don`t need to crate her at night because she sleeps curled up right beside me all night long. She likes to sleep in as long as you want to sleep in. Brinda typically sleeps 10 hrs per night and is fully potty trained. She loves her toys, squirrels, and bones. She is a smart girl and always remembers which trees she previously saw a squirrel climb up. Brinda knows the command `sit` and will do so at any time if it means getting a treat. Brinda loves walks and is often confused when people we walk by don`t stop to pet her! It is best to have Brinda in a no-dog household while she continues to work on saying hi to other dogs and building her confidence. Brinda is extremely curious about other dogs on our walks, but once she gets up close, she gets scared. She is a great apartment dog (I currently live in downtown DC), she doesn`t bark at any alarms or sirens during the day or night, only will casually bark when she hears other dogs walking down our hallway. I mean somebody has to keep watch over the apartment!Brinda had a rough life prior to the shelter. She was found chained up to a police station, where she was thankfully taken to the shelter. She is a super resilient girl! In the shelter Brinda was spayed and given a whole new life. Brinda needs somebody to be gentle and loving with her, and she will give it back to you two-fold! Although she is great with meeting new people on walks, she gets nervous when people walk into our apartment. It takes her a bit to warm up, but once she does, she is wiggly and ready to cuddle. She gets more confident and trusting with each passing week...it is amazing how far she has come!PS--Whe
