I moved into a trailer on the edge of the Ocala forest in July 2023. The lady who was presently living there was going into assisted-living and could not take her dog. She was going to put him in a shelter and I told her that I would take him as long as he got along with my other little dog;since that time Brody has grown and I am 80 years old and I am having trouble walking him. He does go outside in the front yard but I sit outside on the porch and watch him and he does not leave the area. However I am moving to Lake Placid on May 25 , and it will require me to walk him all the time as there is a road. I believe that that is not in Brody‘s best interest nor mine. He is a lot of dog to handle because of my age. However, he is sweet and thinks he is a lapdog and sits with me on my recliner ;he is neutered and has a chip that I did not use however, I do have the paperwork to do so. He also has his rabies shots and has medicine for fleas and ticks. He is a lovable guy, although he does not like cats as I have a cat although he has never attacked her. I know that he will do well with a person who has the strength to walk him and also to love him. He loves to play with his toys. He also likes milk bones.
