What did we do on today’s adventure:
Bran got picked up and headed to Willow Glen, where he walked around neighborhoods and a park trail. He got a pup cup from Starbucks and enjoyed some people watching before returning to the shelter.
What should potential adopters know about me:
Bran did really well on his walk. He was easy to handle around people and cars, was interested in other dogs but redirected his attention quickly and easily. He started pretty excited but settled in very quickly.

What did we do on today’s adventure:
Today was amazing. Like, tail-wagging, nose-to-the-ground, ears-up amazing. I knew I was going on an adventure with my new human friend as soon as I saw the car. I hopped right in like a champ. The windows were cracked during the ride, and I loved ALL the sniffs rushing in. I like riding in the car and just staring out the window. Then we got out to hike on five miles of pure nose ecstasy. I sniffed everything. Holes? Sniffed. Bushes? Sniffed. Trees? You better believe I sniffed. I pulled a little when I got a hot scent, but the human distracted me with treats — yes, those are more important. I didn’t mind the other humans running or cycling or walking - I just was focused on finding squirrels. We passed a bunch of other dogs—some cool, some suspicious. I only barked at one of them, but no drama. I handled myself like a gentleman. But then... horses. FOUR of them. I don’t even know what I was looking at. Giant dogs? Very suspicious deer? I just stood there, eyes popping out of my head, trying to process what I was seeing. I didn’t bark though. I was too confused. When we finally got back to the car, I gave a few thank-you kisses, and then collapsed in the backseat. My paws were tired, my nose was full of stories, and my tail was content. Rating for today: 11/10. Would sniff again.
What should potential adopters know about me:
Bran is great on leash. 7/10 - the only time he pulled was to try to chase squirrels, but he can be easily lured with a treat or just a verbal command; he responds quickly to the person on the other end of the leash. He would excel in a basic obedience course. He was not reactive with joggers, bikers, walkers, and most other dogs. He only reacted to one dog of the dozen or so that we passed, but it was quick and easy to distract him and keep moving. He’s a very sweet pup and will stick close to your side (unless he sees a squirrel). He is very easy to manage and would make a wonderful loving companion!

What did we do on today’s adventure: today I went on my first Tails & Trails adventure, and I had so much fun! I got to ride in the car and liked sticking my nose out the window to smell the breeze. We went for a long walk and I got to sniff everything, I liked checking out all the squirrel holes in hopes of finding one. I LOVE treats and showed off my sit for lots of yummy ones. I also got lots of butt scratches during breaks which are the best. I even got a pupcup at the end of our walk – yum!
What should potential adopters know about me: Bran was a total gentleman and did great on his first Trails & Tails walk! He was easy to get harnessed up and was excited to get going. He had no problem hopping in the car and was good for the drive (though he does like to stand on the center console and help navigate if you let him). He is a sniffy boy and enjoyed checking out all the new smells. He has good leash manners and does not really pull. He was non-reactive to other people, bikes, cars etc. In the shelter environment he can be reactive, but on the trail he was very good about not engaging with other dogs and passing politely, he only reacted to one dog we passed. Bran is also very treat motivated and can be easily distracted with treats, he already knows sit and is happy to show it off for treats. He loves butt scratches and will lean in for some during breaks. He was interested in the birds and squirrels we saw (but again easily distracted with treats). Bran is a lovely boy who make a wonderful walking and snuggling buddy.
