Pet Of The Week: Brindal Comes With 'Kisses And Unconditional Love'
BABYLON, NY — Brindal is a resident of the Babylon Animal Shelter and is Patch’s Pet of the Week.
Brindal’s an “adorable” male rottweiler and pitbull mix who’s around two and a half years old, long-time shelter volunteer Lyndsey Grosjean told Patch.
She said Brindal’s breeder brought him to the shelter when he was just a year and a half along with his sibling, Hunter.

“Sadly, a year later they are both still waiting,” Grosjean said.
But Brindal’s no ordinary pup. He comes “fully trained and knows his commands,” volunteer Christine Franke said.

In addition, he loves playing catch and sharing “kisses and unconditional love.” He was great on a leash, knows commands and learns quickly, volunteers said. He’ll retrieve any toy thrown for him and give it right back with a single command of “release.”
On his downtime, Brindal “loves a good cuddle” and just relaxing with his human friends, Franke said.
A shelter volunteer named Rich described Brindal as “gentle, lovable and a very playful boy who is always looking to run around and chase balls.”
“Brindle will make a wonderful addition to any family’s house, he brings lots of love and kisses without any strings attached,” Rich added.
Although volunteers say he’ll make a great family dog, they think he’ll fare best as the family’s only dog, with continued structure and children over 12 so they can keep up with his activity level.
“As a volunteer favorite, we want the best for Brindle and his forever family and will always support our adopters and puppies in any way we can,” Franke said. “Please consider being a hero, and adopting our Brindal. “We are drowning in dogs.”
To give Brindal his forever family or find another potential soulmate, please call the Babylon Animal Shelter at 631-643-9270. Her identification number is 23-319.
“Our shelter is full and we are in dire need of adoptions, or even fosters which can save a dog’s life,” Franke said.
Normal adoption hours at the shelter are Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
In the meantime, the shelter needs experienced large dog handlers and its staff is happy to train interested dog lovers.
There’s also an abundance of bunnies, kittens and cats to spend time with too, Franke said. Anyone interested in volunteering may contact the shelter by calling the number above or emailing BASvolunteers80@gmail.com.
