Miss Brick is a solid rectangle of muscular charm. Her favorite activities include meeting new people, playing tug-of-war, and chewing on squeaky toys. She is burly and enthusiastic, so she needs a home without small children. Bricky lives with a senior dog in her foster home, with whom she enjoys walking, and is friendly with dogs in the world, but would be happiest as the sole recipient of your love.

Miss Brick rides well in the car, too, but she needs a step stool or a boost to get inside. But don't let her stubby legs fool you -- she loves a good hike! Unenthused by the fenced yard, Miss Brick enjoys 1-2 hours of vigorous walking every day. Because she is a sturdy, eager girl who wants to go-go-go, she needs a front clip harness and a strong handler.

Nonetheless, Miss Brick takes "stop and smell the roses" quite seriously! She prefers setting the pace of her walks, enjoying new sights and smells as she goes along. While walking, Bricky will often look back to make sure her human is still nearby.

Despite her love for the outdoors, Miss Brick is also a professional napper and occasional oversized lapdog. She likes snoozing in her doggy bed throughout the day, and she sleeps through the night without a peep. She is fully house-trained.

Like any dedicated home guardian, Miss Brick occasionally spots people and dogs out the window. She may be petite, but her height doesn't stop her from hopping on the windowsill and barking to "protect" her home. She does not feel comfortable around cats and needs a cat-free home.

Miss Brick will need a calm decompression period to settle into her home. She can be mouthy in new situations -- face-licking may turn into ear-nibbling! -- but her manners quickly improve once she feels comfortable and secure.

A happy-go-lucky girl, Miss Brick is ready to be your adventure and nap buddy. She is full of love, affection, and zest for life!
