Hey! I’m Brady — part Shepherd, part Boxer, and 100% eager to win your heart.

Before I came to HALO, I spent time at another shelter where life was tough. We only got outside for a short time once a day, and since I’m house trained, I’d get anxious waiting, worried I’d mess up my kennel. I tried so hard to be good — I’m the kind of dog who overthinks how to make you happy.

Even in that stressful place, I lit up when someone came to see me — like they came just for me. I loved going for walks with volunteers and had the best time on park trips, taking in all the new sights and smells. I even liked choosing my own toy from the box! I did well in playgroups — while I wasn’t the wild type, I kept up with the best of ’em and took breaks when things got too rowdy. I was always friendly with both men and women, and even rode calmly in the car with a young couple once, just taking it all in.

My first home before the shelter wasn’t very kind either. There was yelling and rough handling, so I really value kind, gentle people. If you see the best in me, I will always see the best in you!

Recently, I spent some time in a home again and showed that while I have a lot of love to give, I can be a bit too interested in cats — I tend to chase and corner them, so I’d be happiest in a cat-free home. I can also be a little mouthy when I get excited, so I’d do best with kids around 8 or older who can handle my playful energy.

I’m a sweet, loyal guy who just wants to love and be loved. Take some time to meet me, and I promise you’ll be head over heels!
