Brach's Story

My name is Brach, and I’m hoping someone still believes dogs like me deserve a happy ending. 🤎<br/><br/>I’m a 10-year-old Yorkie mix with a gentle heart and a whole lot of love left to give. I’m the kind of little dog who just wants to be close to his person — curled up beside you on the couch, snuggled in bed, or quietly following you from room to room all day long.<br/><br/>I get along well with other dogs, I’m not food aggressive, and I even proudly wear my little belly band like a gentleman. Everyone who meets me says I’m a total sweetie pie.<br/><br/>But the truth is... I need a special home.<br/><br/>I have congestive heart failure. Right now it’s being managed well with care and medication, and I’m doing my best to enjoy every cozy moment life gives me. Still, I know being older and having medical needs makes people scroll past dogs like me.<br/><br/>What I want most isn’t anything fancy. Just someone willing to love me for whatever time I have left. Someone who understands that senior dogs still feel joy, still form deep bonds, and still wait by the door hoping they finally belong somewhere.<br/><br/>I didn’t stop deserving love because I got old or sick.<br/><br/>I just need someone willing to give me a chance. 🐾<br/>apply www.bigdogsdontcry.com
