I've got two jobs: protect my people... and run like the wind." 🐾💛 Hi, I'm Brownie--a 4-year-old Shepherd mix currently hanging out at DeKalb Humane Society, trying to figure out how I got here and hoping my next stop is a forever home. Life changed pretty quickly for me, and now I'm starting over. It's a little confusing, but I'm doing my best and holding onto hope that my person is coming for me soon. Here's what you should know: 🐾 Loyal and protective - I bond closely with my people and take that seriously 🐾 Great with dogs, cats, and kids - I've lived with all and done well 🐾 Active and playful - I LOVE to run and would thrive with space to stretch my legs 🐾 Smart and responsive - I do well with structure and clear guidance I'll be honest--I could use a refresher on house training and getting back into a routine. Shelter life isn't exactly helping with that, but give me some consistency and I'll catch on quickly. The hardest part? The kennel. I'm a dog who's used to being part of a home, and I'm ready to feel that again. 💛 My family made a very difficult decision because they wanted better for me--and now I just need someone willing to give me that chance. If you're looking for a loyal, active companion who will love you fiercely and keep life interesting... I'm right here. 📍 Come meet Brownie at DeKalb Humane Society 📞 260-868-2409An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.
