Braeburn, ID #422287, came into the shelter as a stray on Feb. 27. He's a comical dog who will pull things out of your pockets and then look at you like he didn't do it. Braeburn is a 1-year-old, 60-pound Anatolian shepherd mix. He has been adopted twice and returned for being too playful. Little dogs and senior dogs would not appreciate his activity level. He needs a fun family and a big yard. Braeburn knows the sit command, and he has learned not to do jump-ups. Until overcrowding gets under control, adoption fees are waived for all dogs, no matter their size. To meet Braeburn, go to the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter at 2811 SE 29 between noon and 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
