PET OF THE WEEK Humane Society of Central Oregon 541-382-3537 "You bet I fetch.” Brody is a great play partner. Brody is super social and playful but sometimes doesn't know how big he is and knocks the little ones down. Kids over 12 will have a great time with Brody. It was also reported that Brody has caused the demise of chickens so if you or your neighbors have chickens then Brody would not be the dog for you. He is house trained and ready to settle in to a home where he can continue his adventurous life.! SPONSORED BY 541-549-2275 541-549-8836 541 5 9 8836 54 CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES...
