Meet our new foster Brogan, the digging doodle from Dothan.

Yesterday DH and I took a road trip to Columbus, about 2.5 hours southeast from north side of Atlanta (where we live) to meet a wonderful volunteer from the Dothan Animal Shelter and our new foster boy Brogan. Brogan was owner surrendered because the owner said he digs. Poor guy was a big black smelly mass of mats. Fortunately, the shelter HW tested him and wonders of wonders the test came back negative. After 2 hours of riding with the back windows partially down to counteract the stench we stopped at our local Petsmart to see if they could clean him up. Thank heavens they had an open slot. DH asked if at all possible to please not shave Brogan’s lovely black curls. The groomer said she would try but called within an hour to say that Brogan had some mats that were so bad that he had some open sores. So a bath and a shave were in order for Mr. B. Two hours later we got the call that Brogan was ready to be picked up. Just imagine our surprise when the matted black dood we dropped off came back to us a clean sleek Brindle.

I wonder what his coat will look like with those brindle body stripes? Really special, I'll bet.

He is gorgeous Nina! So lucky to have you!!!

I found this picture of a brindle parti poodle on another forum. Since Brogan has only a tiny white spot on his chest I think he would not be considered a parti but just a brindle.

He is beautiful. Good luck! Love the black.

Gee my two dig also. Should I give them u? What's with theses people. Bravo to you.

I bet he feels SO much better without all those mats pulling on his skin! He's beautiful with or without hair... and I'm sure he's going to be loving life from now on.
