9/14/2026
Solicited attentions, Easy to pull from kennel, Easy to return to kennel, Takes treats nicely, Somewhat Pulls on Leash, Calm, Timid, Ignored dogs when walking past kennels. A little leash avoidant but once leashed, so happy to come out. Ignored other dogs on way to play yard. Kept looking up at handler for reassurance as dog and handler quickly walked to yard. Dog loved affection all over his body, sometimes leaning against handler. Dog occasionally put his head behind handler's legs when handler was seated and barking level rose. Was comforted mostly when handler was stroking him. Dog loves to chase toys but doesn't always retrieve. Dog runs to toy, sniffs it, and comes back to handler for more affection. Dog is loving, affectionate, gentle, calm, cooperative, and extremely sweet.

This is a complete copy, taken from the county’s priority portal and refreshed every hour. See the original (opens the county website in a new tab), though the county takes a dog’s page down once they leave the list, so that link stops working when Brainiac gets out. This page will not.
This is Brainiac’s Maricopa County Animal Care and Control record, copied hourly and shown in full. We do not rewrite it, soften it or summarise it. Anything written in our own voice is in a box with our name on it.
