Hi, I’m Bran! Like the food, I’ll bring regular joy into your life (see what I did there?). I’m an active, playful, and affectionate pup who loves walks, meeting new people and dogs, and cuddling after a fun day of adventure.

I’m always wagging my tail, following my humans around, and spreading happiness wherever I go. If you work from home, I’ll be your chill, couch-loving sidekick. My foster says my bouncy ears and goofy personality make me extra special.

Ready to meet your Bran-new best friend? Let’s make it happen!

Meet Aquafina, the chillest and most loving companion you could ask for! This calm, snuggly boy is happiest by your side (or on your lap), purring contentedly as you relax together.

Aquafina gets along well with other cats, loves playing with toys, and is a pro at using scratchers. He’s even polite around furniture—no countertop exploring for this gentleman! While he’s friendly with everyone, he’ll bravely take on the Evil Vacuum to protect you before settling back in for cuddles.

Ready for a sweet, laid-back kitty in your life? Aquafina might be your perfect match!
