About Brynne

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Back in February 2022, Brynne was rescued along with her newborn puppies, having survived a rough start to life in a tiny kennel by a dumpster. Despite her challenges, Brynne has blossomed into a loving and playful companion. She's still searching for her forever home, even after her puppies found theirs. Brynne is seeking a home with a confident and patient adopter who can provide clear, gentle leadership. She may be a bit reserved with new people at first, but once she trusts you, her sweet and playful nature shines through. Brynne is not suited for apartment living, as she is quite vocal and benefits from a space where she can be active. She enjoys doggy daycare, is making great strides with leash walking, and does best when she has structure and ongoing exposure to new environments. Boarding has helped her adapt, but Brynne is ready for a loving home where she can keep learning and thrive. Fun fact: Brynne was born under the sign of Scorpio, so she may surprise you with her loyalty and emotional depth! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
