Mixed Breed male, 1 year old and 96 pretty adorable pounds!
**UPDATE FROM CASA DE LAURA! Brooks is currently being fostered by the one and only Laura! Here's what she told us about Brooks: ** Brooks is a 2 year old Dog Argention who was found as a stray with his brother in November, 2023. He stayed in the shelter until July 12, 2024 when he came to foster care. Typical of the breed, he’s a big boy, weighing in at 95 lbs. These dogs were bred for hunting, and don’t usually do well with smaller animals, or same sex dogs.
BROOKS
- Is crate trained
- Housebroken
- Knows basic obedience: sit, down, wait, walks ok on leash
- Catches treats in the air, knows shake
- Sits at the door before going out/coming in
BROOKS enjoys playing with female dogs and toys. He has his favorite ducky that he throws in the air and chases after. Typical of the breed, he has sensitive skin, and is allergic to chicken, straw, and grass. He is on a salmon based kibble, and gets a bath with medicated shampoo weekly, and is also on benedryl, all which keep the allergy under control. Brooks a very sweet guy, who loves human attention, and has many volunteer friends from the shelter who he likes to visit there. Knowledge of the breed, and big dog experience preferred. The best home for him is one that has a female who he can play with, no other pets, and older children. Dogos are active dogs, and need plenty of exercise. They are not backyard dogs.
Brooks is worried meeting new people, but he quickly warms up with a few treats. Brooks shows some interest in toys but he’s not real sure what they are all about! Brooks is easy to leash up and he enjoys going for walks. Our wonderful volunteer, Angela, told us that Brooks walks GREAT on-leash! We are recommending older kids in Brooks’ new home, just because he can be a little shy. Brooks would probably enjoy a female canine friend. but a meet and greet with any dog is a must.
