About Brownie

Meet Briggs, a charming graduate from a reservation shelter who's ready to win your heart. This gentle, male dog is friendly with other pups and loves nothing more than cuddling and playing with humans. Although he's been known to guard his toys at times with other dogs, he interacts well with people. Briggs arrived in less-than-ideal condition, covered in ticks, but he's now being treated with a flea and tick preventative to keep him healthy. Before adoption, he will need a follow-up blood test in August to ensure he didn’t contract any diseases from the ticks, which the shelter will cover if he finds a forever home before then. His recent tests show he's negative for heartworm and tick-borne diseases. This loving boy is house trained and altered, making him a fantastic addition to any family. Don't wait to meet this sweet boy; he's eager to join a family that will cherish him. Click apply to start the adoption process.
