← Back to all senior dogs

Meet Brian, the one-of-a-kind tripod with a heart of gold! Around 4 years old, this handsome boy has already shown what a true survivor he is. Life threw him some big challenges-he fractured both front legs and dislocated his wrist at some point in his first 2 years of life, leaving one leg bowed and shorter, which eventually meant saying goodbye to it. But don't let that fool you-this tripod doesn't miss a beat when it comes to living life to the fullest! He's a playful guy who LOVES short walks, cruising in his wagon, hopping in the car for adventures, and-his favorite treat of all-pup cups. Car rides? Count him in. Snuggle breaks? Yes, please. He may zoom around with excitement, but he's also the king of rest time and knows when it's time to recharge. Because he gets really excited, he thrives with structure and someone who can help him keep his cool. He does best with bigger dogs and older kids who understand his need for space, slow introductions, and quiet time. A fenced-in yard would be a dream come true, giving him the freedom to play safely at his own pace. This guy also likes a tidy space-otherwise he'll happily "claim" any treasures he finds as his own. He's also a bit of a foodie and prefers to eat and chew his bones solo, like the distinguished gentleman he is. He can be a little nervous at the vet, so he rocks his cool basket muzzle to feel safe. We love our vet teams, who are helping him work through his fears one positive visit at a time. The best part? He's both potty and crate trained-what a good boy! If you're looking for a pup with resilience, personality, and plenty of love to give, this tripod sweetheart is ready to roll (literally, sometimes in his wagon!) right into your heart.
