Meet Brody!
Brody is an 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier who came to rescue as an owner surrender when his family was no longer able to keep him in their apartment. And we're just going to say it: Brody is kind of a gremlin. He's got an underbite with little canine teeth that poke out like tiny fangs, eyes that seem approximately two sizes too big for his face, and a head that seems approximately two sizes too big for his body. Structurally, we're not entirely sure what happened here. Is he conventionally handsome? That's between Brody and the Lord.
BUT... he has the SWEETEST personality! Brody is such a happy little dog. He is sweet, social, affectionate, and gets along well with both dogs and cats. Once you spend a little time with him, you quickly stop noticing that he looks like someone assembled a Yorkie from memory and start realizing what an absolute sweetheart he is.
Brody LOVES being outside. Exploring the yard might actually be his favorite thing in the entire world. He wanders, sniffs, investigates, and checks out absolutely everything like a tiny gremlin who has been appointed Director of Outdoor Affairs. There are smells to smell and important little-dog business to attend to, and Brody takes his responsibilities seriously.
Now that he's had time to settle in, we've also discovered that when his outdoor shift is over, Brody is quite the cuddle bug. He loves curling up on the couch with his people and soaking up affection. He's the perfect combination of little adventure buddy outside and professional couch warmer inside.
Why Brody might be your guy:
* Incredibly sweet, affectionate, and happy
* LOVES being outside and exploring
* Loves cuddling on the couch
* Good with dogs and cats
* Past the puppy nonsense but still ready for adventures
* Underbite and tiny vampire fangs included at no additional charge
* Approximately 73% Yorkie, 27% unidentified woodland creature
Brody does reportedly have some separation anxiety according to previous owner and should be safely kenneled when left alone. Because he genuinely enjoys being with his people, a home where he isn't routinely alone for long stretches would be a great fit.
Brody may look a little like a creature you aren't supposed to feed after midnight, but underneath all that glorious weirdness is one of the sweetest, happiest little dogs. He's ready for a forever family who will appreciate his unconventional good looks, take him outside to investigate the world, and save him a spot on the couch when the day's adventures are done.
