Brody gets along with dogs (both smaller and larger than he is) and cats.  He tends to pester his foster's more passive rat terrier, so a dog that can stand his/her ground might work better.  He backs down when challenged by another dog, even small ones.  He's interested in cats, but doesn't chase them down when he sees one, and will back off if swatted at.  He is crate-trained, and is used to being kept in a crate when his foster is away from the house and while they sleep.  He has pottied a few times in the house, but it was when his foster accidentally didn't put him up in his crate before heading to bed.  Since he's

As a result of his early upbringing, he needs a little time to adjust to new people--it would only take a day or two in a new home.  He is extremely active, and thus, will need to be in a household with people who are willing to spend a lot of time with him.  He will need to be walked, played with, and will need plenty of toys and things to chew on.  He likes rawhides, which his foster mom uses to keep him busy.  Although he does like to check (what puppy doesn't??), he hasn't chewed anything up in his foster's house he wasn't supposed to.  He sits on command and DOES know the word "no", but they are still working on him staying off the furniture and trying to teach him to not jump up on people.

We think a family, or a young adult with enough free time to spend with Brody would be perfect.  While he has not yet been around kids, he's such a good, friendly dog, that kiddos would likely not be a problem.  Due to his size and activity level, older kids may work a little better.

Brody is up to date on vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped.  Brody is just still a puppy at 6-7 months old and weighs about 35lbs.  Best guess is he is a German Sheppard mix of sorts.
