Cue Music The sailors say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)... Hi. I'm Brandy! One FINE GIRL, indeed! You cannot meet me and not smile. I am joy! I am 6 years old, weigh 60 lbs, and I love naps. I snore and make really funny sounds. I am comedy and love in one gorgeous fawn colored body! I would like to be the only dog in the home, please. I cannot wait to meet you! *please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet.
🧠 Temperament
Bold, curious and busy. Terriers were bred to hunt independently, which shows up as tenacity, a strong prey drive and a low tolerance for boredom. They are often more dog-selective than people-selective.
🎾 Exercise
Moderate to high, and mental more than physical — 45-60 minutes plus digging, sniffing or puzzle outlets.
✂️ Grooming
Varies. Wiry coats need hand-stripping or clipping every few months; smooth coats need very little.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
Their small size suits apartments well. Watch for barking at hallway noise and a strong interest in squirrels and rats.
