Brio: Vigor; vivacity.

This long legged handsome boy probably has some Australian Shepherd mixed in with German Shepherd. He has mysterious eyes to go with his brindle coat.

A good Samaritan contacted us about a dog that she found - she tried to keep him but circumstances wouldn't allow it. Brio's coat is crying out for good nutrition - he has probably been an outdoor dog for his entire life. In addition, we're certain he has been mistreated. He is very shy and submissive. BUT, he LOVES kids. He went to his first adoption event and hung back for most of the day, but by the time we were ready to go home, he got the coveted spot across three kids' laps in the back. Happy, happy boy.

We would like to see Brio end up in a home with kids and another well loved dog so that Brio can learn what its like to live the "good life".
