Brangus: Big Muscles, Big Heart

This 2-year-old Terrier mix would make a great addition to any guy.

Brangus may be a brawny, muscular boy, but deep down, he is nothing but a sweet teddy bear. He aims to please his people, and that smile of his usually does the trick. 

Not much is known about Brangus's past, but it is obvious that this 2-year-old boy's life was rough before he came to Stray Rescue. Someone found an injured Brangus roaming the streets tired and alone. Although he was in a great deal of pain, Brangus had no apprehension about letting someone rescue him. This choice changed his life forever. 

Thank goodness for people that take action. It is easy to turn a blind eye and pretend that animals aren't suffering in the St. Louis area. However, nothing will change unless people take a stand against the abuse and neglect.

Go to Stray Rescue and read some of their rescue stories. Yes, some are difficult to read, and not all of them have happy endings, but these people risk their own safety to rescue some amazing dogs. The more people that are aware of the abuse occurring and the great things Stray Rescue is doing to fight it, the better. 

Now Brangus is settling into a good life full of regular meals, regular exercise and regular love. He was thrilled when he got to spend the day at .

Brangus has a tough guy face on his Stray Rescue profile picture. However, that tough guy facade quickly faded as soon as he got to The Watering Bowl.  He couldn't contain his excitement, and a smile never left his face. Brangus was fast asleep on the car ride back to the shelter; another satisfied TWB customer!

This 2-year-old Terrier mix would make a great addition to any guy. He will be your protector, your pal, and your companion. For more information on this teddy bear, visit Stray Rescue.
