About Brownie

Meet Brownie, an adorable 6-7 month old Yorkie mix weighing around 8 lbs. This little guy is still getting the hang of potty training and will thrive with a consistent schedule in his new home. At first, he may appear shy, but after a few days, he warms up to new friends, including his foster siblings, with whom he plays happily. Brownie sleeps in a crate at night but needs a gentle introduction to extended alone time, as he can experience anxiety. He does great with both young and older children, and he tends to warm up to people once given a little time. While he hasn’t had experiences with cats, he shows promise in his interactions with other dogs. His leash manners are improving with training, and he happily enjoys car rides. If you’re interested in bringing Brownie into your home, he’ll be available at our adoption event this Saturday. Don't forget to bring any resident dogs and kids along to meet him. Your new best friend is waiting for you!
