Today’s dog is Brianna, a young American Bulldog mix. She’s between one and two years old.

Brianna was found in an abandoned building and brought to the ACCT animal shelter. She gets regular meals now, but she won’t be a really happy dog until she has her own family, something soft to sleep on, and a chance to walk or play outside every day.

Brianna is one of the gentlest and sweetest dogs around. She loves people, kids, and other dogs. She likes to play, but also likes to relax and cuddle. As far as playing goes, one of her favorite things to do is to play fetch. As far as relaxing, she loves to lie down flat on her stomach and stick her back legs out, kinda like a frog (see picture below).

Brianna is already well-trained. She knows commands like “sit,” “stay,” and learning “lie down.” She is house-trained, and never begs for food. She is very mature for her age.

She is a perfect dog with the perfect temperament and it’s a shame that she hasn’t been adopted yet. Maybe it’s because she sits quietly in her kennel while the other dogs bark and jump for attention. She is a staff and volunteer favorite and gets some extra kisses and treats here and there. She’s also a runway model! Recently she participated in a runway show for New Leash On Life.

Brianna has already been spayed and microchipped (so she doesn’t get lost), and has had all of her basic shots.

If you want to adopt Brianna, please email her pen pal Steve for more information at: s.t.weinberg [at] gmail.com or come to the ACCT shelter (111 W. Hunting Park Ave.). Her adoption fee is $30 (which may be discounted for certain adoption specials). If you can’t adopt Brianna you can also consider fostering her until she finds her happy ending.
