Cheryl Tudino, RISPCA

Hi there, I’m Cheryl, a volunteer at the RISPCA in Warwick, full-time treat dealer, poop scoop enthusiast, and unpaid publicist for dogs who deserve way more followers than influencers.

Today I would like to introduce you to Brian: He’s got the name, the looks….just missing his Griffin Family! And yes….Brian. As in Family Guy Brian.

Unlike his cartoon counterpart, this Brian isn’t here to philosophize over a martini, judge your life choices, or hang out with Stewie. He wants to hang out with YOU!

This Brian’s priorities are much simpler: Give him some people to love, a good walk, some playtime, and a comfy place to crash-and this big goofy guy is living his best life.

Brian has never met a stranger. He absolutely LOVES people and is basically a 64-pound loveable goofball with zero concept of his own size.

Brian has met other dogs and loves to play! Because he doesn’t quite understand that he is, in fact, a large dog, he would do best with children 13 and older who can handle his size.

Cats? Well…let’s just say Brian may like to have a slow introduction with a martini to hold a meeting with a feline friend first. Slow introductions are recommended.

Brian doesn’t need a Griffin mansion. He just wants a family of his own. Someone who will let him be their goofy shadow, their walking buddy, their couch companion, and their BFF for life. He just needs his people…and maybe a few treats. Bring Brian home and give this ‘Family Guy’ his happily ever after. No martinis needed, just lots of love.
