Description:

Meet Brennan!

WANTED: LAP - any size, any shape. Prefer one that comes with a blanket!

If you have a lap, we have the dog for you! Brennan is a 2 year old Chi that came to MARS as a stray. He is currently spending his time with a couple of other dogs and a couple of cats. While he is interested in the cats, and will bark at them on occasion, he has not approached them - I think he knows better or is taking his cues from the other dogs in the home.

Brennan is definitely a lap dog - if you are sitting, he is sitting - he doesn't care whose lap it is - any lap will do. He prefers to be under the blankets though and will burrow in to sleep the day away. He also enjoys a spot in the sun where he can gaze upon his kingdom! Not a complete couch potato, he has his moments and will take time out of his busy day of sleeping to play with toys and the other puppy in the house.

Typical of small dogs, Brennan is a little stubborn about pottying outside - if he is taken out, he will go right away but given his choice he'd prefer to stay in where it is warm so we are working on it. He hasn't had to spend much time in a crate in his foster home but so long as it has a warm blanket he can snuggle into, it's all good with him.

Brennan has spent time with both my 3 year old granddaughter (even her lap is good enough for him!) and my 8 week old grandson and is always been a gentleman. He has not shown any toy/food/resource guarding with the humans but will get after the other puppy in the house if she gets too close to his stuff. Again, we are working on this and as long as he is continually reminded by his humans of his place in the pack, I think he will do fine.

Overall, if you are looking for a low maintenance, snuggler then look no further, Brennan is your man!

Brennan will make a great addition to any home.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
