Meet Brownie

Meet Brownie! This adorable little guy was surrendered to the rescue with his sibling by owners who continue to co-house unaltered dogs and, as a result, produce liters of unwanted puppies that receive no vetting or exposure outside the home. Earlier this year, we rescued another dog, Piper, and her puppies from this family and spayed the remaining female dogs. We thought the problem was solved, and there were no more unaltered dogs in the home…but here we are again. We try to educate folks along the way and can only hope they learn from this. Brownie has been in his foster home for about 3 weeks as part of a family with two kids and two other dogs. He was nervous when he arrived, as this was likely his first life experience outside his home. Because he’s still young and resilient, It only took him a few days to warm up, and he is an entirely different dog now. He gets along wonderfully with the two other dogs in his foster home and finds confidence in being part of a pack. He’s also great with the kids who are 13 and 15 years old. He’s better suited for older kids vs. toddlers, as he can still be startled by sudden or loud noises. He’s also shy about meeting new people but needs calm reassurance to settle in and trust visitors. Brownie is a young, active dog who currently gets most of his exercise romping and playing in the backyard with some occasional leash walks worked in to get him more familiar. He’s adapted to the puppy pen and quickly learned the doggy door. He has been good about following the other dogs to go potty outside, but you can’t fully trust him yet. He’s only 6- 7 months old and is still learning the rules. His foster mom, Jen, shared that “Brownie is a sweet, funny, goofy, and playful little guy. We are all in love with him!! That being said, the first couple of days, I thought I was in over my head because he was just so scared, but he has come such a long way quickly. Whoever he ends up with will need to go into it with some patience to get through his initial fear stage, but once he settles in, he is super, super snuggly. If he had it his way, he would be someone’s lapdog.” ****** Brownie is still a very young pup with his whole life ahead of him. We feel he’s best suited for an active home and would benefit from another confident, social pup. This little guy will be coming to the DC metro area on 12/7, ready to start his new life.
