Brady - Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Corpus Christi, Texas

Meet Brady!

Brady is a sweet, loving Mini Aussie who is happiest when his people are nearby. He’s a fairly calm guy for his breed and loves being part of the family. If his humans are all together in one room, you can usually count on Brady wanting to be right there with them.

Brady absolutely loves going for walks and is wonderful on a leash. He also enjoys using his brain and is a big fan of puzzles, problem-solving games, and activities that give him something to figure out.

One of Brady’s favorite things in the world is going for a car ride. He used to go everywhere with his family and would happily settle in for the ride—his favorite spot was right on the center console, where he could keep an eye on everything.

Brady has been through professional training and knows his basic commands, including sit, lie down, stay, free, and leave it. He even learned some silly little tricks from his family, including the adorable “Raise your hand if you’re cute!” He’s a smart boy who enjoys learning and connecting with his humans.

Like many Aussies, Brady has a curious and adventurous side that makes him uniquely Brady! He’s a bit of an escape artist and may be tempted to go exploring if given the opportunity, so a secure, well-fenced backyard or supervision when he’s outside is important for keeping his adventures safe. He also gets very excited when his people come home and may bark and jump a little to show you just how happy he is to see you!

At his heart, Brady is a loyal, affectionate, smart, and devoted companion. He wants to be part of his family’s life, whether that means going for a walk, riding in the car, solving a puzzle, or simply hanging out together at home.

Aussies are smart, loyal, and naturally wired to herd, so they may try to follow, circle, or “herd” children when they run or get excited. Some Aussies may also use their mouths or nip as part of this instinct and for that reason, we are looking for a home without young children. Interactions with young children outside of the home should be closely supervised, with separation when an adult cannot actively monitor them. With structure, boundaries, and positive training, Aussies can learn appropriate ways to interact with their little humans — they just sometimes think everyone is part of their flock!

If you’re looking for a dog who will happily become your little shadow and genuinely loves being included in your everyday life, Brady might just be your guy.
