| Bryson |
Please take a moment to look at Bryson and his
story and consider giving him the home he craves
and deserves so very much. Of the younger adult
dogs available from A&B, Bryson is certainly one of
the most “in need” dogs we have. Through no
fault of his own, he just has not been able to find
his special furever home for far too long.
Bryson was rescued from a high kill shelter in TX
by a local rescue group. The local group put him at
their facility in a rural county where he had no
chance to meet the public and very little chance of
adoption. He stayed there for quite some time
until issues with the local rescue group put him at
risk and forced Bryson to find another rescue
group and that is where A&B came into the
picture. Since Bryson is not good with cats the
local A&B rescuer close to him is not able to foster
him in her home where she is also overflowing with
rescue cats. So to get Bryson safe and out of the
local rescue facility he was moved to a Gun Club
where he waits ready and anxious for a home to
call his own.
We know Bryson is not gun shy from a previous
assessment and additionally here is what the
owner of the gun club says about Bryson: I have
been working with Bryson and I am very pleased
with what I see. He responds well to the e-collar,
so an invisible fence should not be a problem. He
is sitting on command and heeling on leash with a
pinch collar. He comes with the “here command”,
right away while wearing an e-collar and comes
pretty reliably even without. He is getting along
great with 7 other dogs in my dog yard (5 foot
non privacy fence) and loves to play. He is also
good with all the kids we have had around. He is a
really good dog and he needs a loving home really
bad. He is such a sweet dog that it would be sad
to see him spend most of his life in a kennel instead
of with a loving family.
So as you can see, Bryson is more than ready to
go to a foster or an adoptive home. The reports
are that Bryson is very kennel clean and we believe
that he may have been housetrained before
rescue, or would be easy to housetrain. Cats are a
favorite to chase, so to avoid temptation, we’d like
a home with no cats. And a canine brother or
sister for Bryson would be a big plus since he does
like to play.
Bryson is a typical ES birdie boy who has held a
point when in the field at the gun club. He hasn’t
had any formal hunt training so that would be
required if you are looking for a hunting buddy.
Bryson has done fine in a 5 foot non privacy fence
but at 57 lbs, like most active setters, if left alone
and unsupervised in a low fence he has the height
and athletic ability to climb if something really
interested him on the other side. He considered
climbing a 4 foot chain link fence at the gun club,
but one correction with a hot wire corrected that
behavior. Because of his leggy height, a fence less
than 5 feet should be reinforced with hot wire or
Invisible Fence.
The pictures do not do justice to Bryson’s orange
ticking or his handsome eyes with the white
eyelashes.
The gun club owner reports that Bryson is not one
of those dogs that is happy outside living in a
kennel environment. This is a sweet, people
oriented boy that wants nothing more than a
home and family to call his own.
Because he is not living inside in a foster home
currently, Bryson is available for an approved A&B
adopter to foster or adopt. The nearby rescuers
that have been searching for a cat-less foster
home for Bryson would be happy to talk with you
about how fostering Bryson would work, of course
you would have first option to adopt him.
Bryson was named Bronson when he came into
rescue. But since nothing about this sweet boy
fits a “tough guy” image, we changed his name to
Bryson, something close in sound because he does
know his name. And in reality, he’d be fine with
you changing his name to Bambi as long as you will
love him and give him the snuggle time he so
desperately seeks.
UPDATE March12th on Bryson with cats: Bryson’s
foster Dad cat tested him with 2 cats in an
enclosed garage and he showed cat curiosity but
not aggression. Based on this assessment, Bryson
could be considered for a placement with barn
cats. Caution related to house cats is still advised
until he has an in-home cat assessment. Here is
the update from Bryson’s foster Dad: We did the
cat test today. He wanted to play with the cats but
got whacked on the nose. He never got aggressive
toward the cats.
