Brownie thrives on being actively involved in her person’s life, whether it’s a game of fetch, a drive, or romping around with toys. She’s high-spirited and affectionate—once she trusts you, she’s glued to your side. Brownie recently finished a board and train program to reinforce her manners, confidence, and structure.

Brownie would flourish with an adopter who will continue her training and provide the engaged, purposeful companionship she loves. Her protective streak comes out around her home, and she’ll make you aware of anything unusual—typical for her breed mix—but she settles well with routine and calm introductions. Brownie prefers a quieter household without much foot traffic and feels secure in a structured home. She bonds fast with her people. She gets along with other dogs after slow introductions but does not get along with cats. Brownie is fostered in Texas, but available for adoption in Brookeville, MD. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
