Brooks Dunn

Description

My name is Brooks Dunn named after the famous country singer.  I came to DDRTX from a hoarding situation with a group called "The Country Music Stars".  Brooks has come out of his shell and loves to be pet. He hasn't quite got the hang of being in your lap but he does like to be right beside you.  Wherever you go, Brooks goes.  At meal times he has the philosophy of what's mine is mine and what's your is mine.  The rest of his foster crew do not agree with Brooks therefore, he eats in his crate by himself until he learns some manners.  He is a smart boy.  He taught himself that he has to potty outside and got the hang of walking on a leash easily.  He didn't know what a treat was and at first wouldn't take one directly from the hand but if it's placed in front of him, he will happily eat it.  He is still a bit timid about meeting new people but with a little patience he will warm up to you.  It takes him a bit longer to warm up to men.  He's still not sure of them. He is still nervous with kids, so probably a home without them would be bets.  We are not sure of cats as his foster home doesn't have any.  He gets along great with the dogs in his foster home.  Brooks would do best in a quieter home without a lot of activity. He needs another dog buddy in the home to help him learn more about living in a home and that he can trust people. He was living with 30 plus dogs before he came to our rescue., so dogs are what makes him comfortable. He is coming along, just still gets scared of his own shadow at times. He just needs someone that will give him lots of love and patience. Brooks was treated for mange and his hair is coming back slowly,  It will take a little time for it all to come back. He has had all the vet work done, is neutered and has had a dental too.  Brooks did test positive for heartworm.  It has been decided due to his immune system that was compromised to treat him with the slow kill method. He is available for adoption to the right home under our heartworm adoption contract.  If you are interested in him and want to learn more, we will give all the details then.
