Meet Brady: Your Future Oversized Snuggle Buddy ❤️
Looking for a dog who's equal parts gentle giant, couch companion, and goofy best friend? Meet Brady!

Brady was rescued by PAWS as a puppy and recently returned through no fault of his own. He's now looking for a home that's a little calmer - one where this sweet, sensitive boy can truly relax and be himself.

At first, Brady can be a little shy with new people, especially men. But give him a little patience (and maybe a tasty treat), and you'll discover the affectionate goofball hiding underneath. Once you've earned his trust, personal space becomes a thing of the past. Brady is convinced he's the perfect-sized lap dog and would happily spend his evenings acting as your very own 99-pound weighted blanket.

Since settling into foster care, Brady has been an absolute joy. While his foster dad works from home, Brady quietly lounges on the couch, content just being nearby. He loves playing with the resident dogs, reads their body language well, and politely gives them space when they ask for it. He's quickly figuring out the dog door, already knows his basic commands, takes treats with the gentlest mouth, and walks well on leash. Brady also enjoys doggy daycare and has done well there both in his previous home and while in foster care.

Brady would thrive in a quieter neighborhood and home where life isn't too hectic. Lots of unfamiliar visitors can make him feel overwhelmed, so he'll do best with a family that understands he's a sensitive soul who just needs a little time to warm up. He's crate trained and is happy to relax in his crate if guests come over.

He'd love a playful canine sibling to romp around with, but he'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one-and-only. Brady has lived and played successfully with dogs of all sizes.

Brady previously lived with young children without issue. His former family noted that large gatherings of people could sometimes make him anxious, causing him to bark or growl when he felt overwhelmed, and he'd occasionally react to particularly noisy neighbors through the fence. Since moving to his foster home, those behaviors have so far disappeared. He calmly spends time in the fenced yard and hasn't barked at people passing by at all. It seems a quieter environment is exactly what helps Brady feel safe and confident.

Brady isn't looking for a perfect home—he's looking for his home. One where his family will appreciate his sweet nature, celebrate his goofy personality, and give him the time he needs to blossom.

If you're searching for a loyal companion who will reward your patience with endless love, devoted cuddles, and plenty of laughs, Brady just might be your perfect match.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the South and New England.  

Adoption fees cover pre-adoption veterinary costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age-appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England, if necessary. The adoption fee is set at a level that enables adoption; they do not cover our costs. Thank you for your generosity and interest in our dogs!

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse, whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
