!!! AVAILABLE for Adoption at ACCT Philly !!!Brody - A43288874Intake Type: Owner surrender - Bite history 12/28Dog Meets:Brody and Muffin: https://youtu.be/uBNiU8fCcFYPersonality: Brody is a sweet 6 year old male that is looking for a quiet forever home. He is a little timid around new people and loud noises but really opens up once you get to know him! He is very sweet and affectionate and loves to stay by his companion's side. He loves to go on hikes in the park, long walks on quiet streets and plays well with other dogs. He would be a wonderful addition to a quiet home where he could live out his best dog days. He is incredibly well trained, and is housebroken. Brody was surrendered by his owner of four years because they worked very long hours and wanted a better life for him than they could give. Brody is scarred of being at the shelter because there are a lot of dogs there and loud noises all night long. He would thrive in a warm and loving home and would give back all his love in return.
