About Brenda

Brenda was brought into the shelter as an owner surrender back in June 2025, for no reason other than that they didn’t want her anymore. Despite having had a home, Brenda was really skinny and covered in fleas and ticks. She was very itchy, and her skin needed a bit of time to recover from all the flea bites she’d suffered.

Fast forward a few months, and Brenda is now a happy, healthy girl with a sleek coat. She still has a very pronounced bone structure in her head, but all her blood tests are clear and this is just part of her sweet pointer charm. She’s a very unassuming dog, and she often blends into the background a little as she doesn’t demand centre stage as some of the other shelter residents do. Brenda is generally quite a quiet, gentle soul and she doesn’t ask for much at all.

The ideal home for Brenda would be a calm, relaxed home atmosphere, with a moderately active lifestyle, a garden, and preferably based semi-rurally. She’s not a city girl, and she would be happier with a more leisurely pace of life away from the hustle and bustle of a busy town. She’d be quite happy in a more residential area, where the pace of life is a bit calmer.

Brenda is great with other dogs and tolerates even the most spatially unaware, noisiest of young dogs. She is patient, but will vocally let a dog know if they have crossed the line (usually that they’ve bounced into her one too many times!) and that she needs them to chill out. She is a great teacher, and her balanced temperament means that other dogs listen to her when she has something to say. She would happily share her home with another dog but would prefer them to be a bit more laid-back in nature, similarly to her.

Brenda is great with people and because she often gets overlooked, when she does get a chance to be with people she absolutely laps it up. She loves affection, treats, being talked to, and a chin scratch. She’s found a little ledge in her kennel where she can stand on her tiptoes (tip-paws?) to see what’s happening over in other kennels, and you can often see her little eyes sticking up above the fence line. She’s quite the nosey neighbour!

Brenda would love a home where she is showered with the love that she has missed out on. She is loyal, devoted, gentle and sociable, and she would be a great match for a home looking for a slightly smaller hound to call their own. She can keep up with long walks without being demanding in her need for exercise, but she will also be more than happy to cuddle at home, sunbathe in the garden and just hang out with her humans. She’s a lovely girl, very eagerly awaiting her second chance.
