BRODY - Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Brody is a shy boy who enjoys sleeping on the bed or couch. He has lived with dogs, cats, and livestock, but slow and proper introductions to any new animals will be important. Brody does show resource guarding around food and may freeze, growl, or nip when approached while eating, so he will need a home without children where his space can be respected. He has never been outside of his home environment and is not yet accustomed to going for walks, car rides, or being crated. Brody may bark or whine when left alone. He will need a patient home willing to give him plenty of time and space to decompress, adjust, and build confidence at his own pace.
