About Brandy
Meet Brandy 🐾
Brandy is a loving, loyal girl who forms a strong bond with her people. She adores being part of the family and is happiest wherever her humans are, happily following them from room to room like the devoted shadow she is. She has plenty of personality too, with adorable sighs, groans and funny little noises that are guaranteed to make you smile.
She enjoys an active lifestyle and loves games of fetch and tug, but her absolute favourite place is the beach. Chasing her ball is her greatest joy, and once she's focused on the game, the rest of the world disappears. Although she loves the water, she's not much of a swimmer, preferring to splash around rather than venture too deep.
Brandy would thrive with an active family who can include her in daily life, provide regular walks and play sessions, and give her the attention she craves. She's been an indoor companion throughout her life and enjoys spending as much time as possible with her people. She has previously been left home during the workday with another dog without any issues.
She is toilet trained, travels well in the car, sleeps happily in her open crate at night, and has lovely manners around the home. She's affectionate, playful and eager to be involved in whatever you're doing.
Brandy currently lives happily with another dog and has no food guarding issues. On lead, however, she can become very excited when she sees other dogs and will need an owner who is prepared to continue working on her lead manners. Off lead she is generally social, although she can become possessive of her ball during play, so this is something her new family will need to manage.
Like many clever Staffies, Brandy enjoys a good chew, so having appropriate toys on hand will help keep her entertained. She can also be a bit impulsive when she's excited and may jump up to greet people, so she would benefit from continued training to help her channel that enthusiasm.
Brandy is looking for a home with a secure yard, as she has shown she can jump lower fences and has previously escaped when bored. A home where she receives plenty of physical exercise, mental enrichment and companionship will help set her up for success.
She can be nervous during thunderstorms and finds veterinary visits particularly stressful after difficult past experiences. During her recent scheduled vet appointment she became too distressed to proceed, so future visits will likely be most successful with pre-visit medication and a patient, understanding veterinary team. Outside of these situations, Brandy is a happy, affectionate girl who simply appreciates gentle handling and reassurance.
If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will keep you company on adventures, entertain you with her quirky personality, and reward your love with endless devotion, Brandy could be the perfect addition to your family.
