Brewster is a handsome 1-year-5-month-old Curly-Coated Retriever Mix with a beautiful black wavy coat and a gentle heart. Weighing 48.5 pounds, he can be timid in the shelter’s loud, unfamiliar environment, but gentle affection helps him relax—he even rolls over for belly rubs.

Brewster is friendly and has shown no signs of fear aggression or fear biting. He may freeze a bit on leash, though he began getting the hang of it after a short walk. With continued socialization, gentle training, patience, and encouragement, he has plenty of potential to blossom.

Ideal Home

Brewster may initially do best in a quieter home with someone who understands that shy dogs may need extra time to feel safe. He responds best to calm, gentle handling and a patient heart.
