About Brownie

Meet Brownie. Brownie is a devoted, 3-year-old Border Collie and Australian Shepherd mix looking for his forever family. Weighing about 52 pounds, he balances playfulness with an eagerness to cuddle. A game of fetch with his favorite squeaky ball or frisbee makes him happy, and he loves to curl up on the couch afterward, following his family from room to room. Though he might be shy when he first encounters new surroundings, his charming personality soon shines. Brownie is affectionate, intelligent, and filled with joy. He enjoys stuffed toys and playtime, preferring these to food as motivation. He thrives on connection through toys and activities. Particularly exceptional with children, Brownie has lived with a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old, demonstrating gentleness and patience. He takes toys carefully from small hands and loves to cuddle with his young friends. Potty trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, he is comfortable in a crate but has not needed one in foster care. He enjoys car rides and settles well when secured. Brownie has no issues around food or treats and eats comfortably near people. His ideal home would have a secure fenced yard for play, along with owners who can provide companionship and mental engagement. Though still building confidence during neighborhood walks, he has shown progress with quieter walks and patient redirection using toys. Attention is needed for his potential to jump gates or fences if motivated. Brownie will do best with someone who can be home often and help him feel secure. He requires careful introductions to other dogs, as he has limited experience with them, and he has not been tested with cats. More than anything, he desires a family that includes him in daily routines and loves him for his unique personality. In return, he offers boundless energy and unwavering loyalty. Your new best friend is just one click away.
