I will eat anything and everything chicken, cardboard, mulch, chicken, or anything else that is on the ground. I love to be outside and go everywhere walking, running, or my personal favorite CAR RIDES!“

• “He's very sweet and loves rubs and to be held but also super jealous and will fight for attention.“

  — Tiah K.

• “Braxton was a rescue😇... I don't know why I said that! I get so annoyed when people say that lol. He's our baby 🐶 now. He's not always sure about certain dog's but he has never bitten anyone or any other dog but his hair will stand on end, so it's a good warning sign. It sticks up right down his spinal cord lol. He is one of the sweetest older guys ever. He thought much of a player he doesn't really know how to fetch he just collects his toys on his bed lol. Which is a lazy boy recliner by the way! We are exactly sure how old he is we think he is about at least 10 maybe 12. He acts normal to ask him if he gets a tummy ache then he's very dramatic. But of course it drives me into a worrying frenzy lol. 🤪🤪 Love him so much.“

  — Stevie W.

• “Braxton is a small ball of energy. Very loving, playful and down to get dirty! Very curious, still teething a bit but overall a great energetic dog! Looking for dog friends all around lol“

  — Stephenie H.

• “I play a little too rough and then I make other dogs mad. If they don’t like it, then I don’t like it. I really only get along with my brother but we don’t ever get to play off leash because mom lives in a condo.“

  — Leah R.
