Brisky - Cattle Dog and Basenji Dog for Adoption in Bowie, Maryland

Brisky is the kind of dog who wins hearts fast. This sweet, loving boy immediately earned the love and respect of his foster family, and its easy to see why. He's house-trained, food-motivated, great on walks, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs.

Brisky is looking for a home that can match his mild-to-medium energy level. He loves his toys, enjoys spending time outdoors, and is just as happy curling up on the couch for a movie night. While he's a little timid around children, he isn't unfriendly; he simply prefers slow introductions and would do best in a home without young kids.

Not much of a barker, Brisky still takes his job as household protector seriously and will make you feel both loved and safe. He's smart, eager to learn, and with a few treats, hell probably have some entertaining party tricks mastered in no time. If you're looking for a loyal companion who can brighten a room, keep you company on adventures, and snuggle up for a cozy night in, Brisky may just be your perfect match.
