Brandi Carlile
AGE / WEIGHT: 3.5 years old / 65 lbs
GENDER: Female
ENERGY: Moderate
GOOD WITH: Dogs - Yes, Kids - TBD, Cats - TBD
ABOUT ME: Lean is my love language. I'll find you, park my big head on your lap, and stay as long as you'll let me. I'm goofy (that glass door came out of nowhere), easygoing, and quick to make friends with strangers. Car rides? I hop in, settle down, and keep the volume low. Bath time? Scrub away. I'm still getting the hang of my new home, but staying close to my people? Already nailed it.
MY FOSTER SAYS: "She is very goofy, she walked into a glass door. She also is very good in the car - I checked on her a few times because she was so quiet. She hops right into the car crate and settles in without a treat."

Brandi Carlile came to us from Selma, Alabama; no information about her history before rescue is available. She traveled to Brooklyn in late September 2026.

Brandi Carlile's signature move is the lean. She finds her person, rests her big head on their lap, and settles in like she's been invited to stay forever. She's goofy, a little clumsy (she once walked straight into a glass door and carried on unbothered), and so easygoing her foster calls her the easiest dog they've ever had.
She's still settling in, but early signs point to a sweet, moderate-energy companion who's quick to trust. She's warmed up fast to strangers at an adoption event and at home, leaning in for pets and asking for more with a gentle nudge. Bath time? She stood patiently and let her foster scrub away. Car rides? She hops into her crate, settles without a treat, and rides so quietly her foster kept checking on her.
With other dogs she's friendly and social. She shares her foster home peacefully with a resident dog (the two have even swapped beds), and while she'd love more playtime, her play can get rough and mouthy, so a dog sibling should be a good match for that style. She hasn't been around cats or lived with kids yet; her gentle nature is promising, though her size means little ones would need time to adjust.
She's crate trained, going in on cue and sleeping through the night, and her house training is off to a clean start. On leash she walks right by your side, with the occasional squirrel-inspired surge. She's still learning a few manners, like keeping her paws down and her mouth soft when she's excited.
She likes to stay close, following her people from room to room, yet stays calm when left on her own. For anyone after a big, affectionate dog who's easy to live with, Brandi is ready for the next verse. -
The dogs in our care are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered (when old enough), microchipped, and given a general health check. Immediate medical needs and medical history will be addressed with the adopter prior to adoption. Complete vet records will be sent shortly after adoption.
