Brownie- 2/22/19: Just the Best!

Hi everyone! Brownie's foster mom here!

I had to hop on to brag about this amazing boy. He is just the best! Here's my check list for why he'd be a great addition to your home...


1) He's sooooo sweet. This is the most go with the flow dog I've ever met. He is confident in every situation we've thrown at him and incredibly friendly with everyone he meets, including children.

2) He's an easy eater. This boy loves his food and isn't picky about it in the slightest. He will always there to monitor the cooking activities in the kitchen and happily pick up any spills, but he also knows it's not appropriate to grab anything off the counter...though he really might want to. He even loves to eat his veggies. Baby carrots are his favorite!



3) He loves to ride in the car. He still needs help hopping in and out while his leg recovers, but he will relax and rack out in the back the whole time. He will even calmly sleep in the car while you run errands, as long as you leave the AC running or it's a chilly day:-) Obviously, he'd never want to hang out in a hot car. He would be a great companion on car trips and would enjoy exploring new places with you too.



4) He's very playful.  He goes from a sleeping couch potato to red alert when he hears a squeaker in 0.5 seconds. He will fetch a toy and bring it back to be thrown again. He REALLY loves to chase anything that goes flying through the air or on the ground. So definitely no kitties or small fluffy pups around this guy. But, he's so much fun to play with and he prefers a good game of fetch with his humans to rough housing with other dogs.

5) He's been house trained from day 1. While all dogs should be given a transition period to learn about a new home, Brownie took to it almost instantly. He's never had an accident in the house and is happy to be in his crate when unattended. He has on occasion enjoyed chewing a rubber toy to shreds...even if it belongs to the kids, but he's learning what he can and can't chew. He'd love his forever family to give him bones to chew and stuffies to chase.


6) He enjoys the company of other dogs, but is also independent enough to be an only I think. As long as he gets a good amount of quality time with his family, he'll be the best friend and loyal companion

Sound too good to be true? It's not. Brownie is waiting patiently to choose his new family once his rehab for his leg is complete. Will it be you?
