Brownie

Meet Brownie! <br/><br/>Brownie is a 1.5-year-old, 42-pound Shepherd mix who is sweet, energetic, affectionate, and absolutely convinced the world revolves around her! <br/><br/>And honestly... she may have a point. <br/><br/>Brownie’s story began when someone found her as a puppy in South Texas in horrible condition. She was covered in fleas and ticks, frightened, and in desperate need of help. Thankfully, her finders took her in and gave her a chance.<br/><br/>But as Brownie grew, so did her puppy energy. Her family realized they weren’t prepared for the energy and needs of a young dog and considered taking her to the pound. Rather than allow this sweet girl to face an uncertain future, they chose to surrender her to a wonderful sanctuary where she would be safe.<br/><br/>Brownie has now been at the sanctuary for seven months, and sadly, no one has chosen her yet.<br/><br/>And it’s absolutely no fault of her own. <br/><br/>Brownie is a wonderful girl who is ready for a family that will appreciate her big personality, give her plenty of love, and keep her busy with all the things she enjoys. <br/><br/>Meet the Diva - Brownie!<br/><br/>Brownie is sweet, energetic, affectionate, and definitely knows what she wants!<br/><br/>She is a vocal girl and will happily let you know when something doesn’t meet her very high Queen Brownie standards. <br/><br/>Does she like something? She’ll tell you.<br/><br/>Does she NOT like something? Oh, you’ll definitely hear about that too!<br/><br/>She has a wonderfully expressive personality and a funny little diva streak that will keep her family laughing. Brownie loves attention and firmly believes that she should be the center of yours. <br/><br/>Dog Friendly:<br/>Brownie loves other dogs and would be perfectly happy sharing her home with another canine companion.<br/><br/>That said, she would also be completely fine as your one-and-only dog. As long as she has her people, plenty of attention, and opportunities to play, Brownie is happy.<br/><br/>Great with Kids:<br/><br/>Brownie would do well with children and would love having kids around to play with and shower her with attention.<br/><br/>Cats:<br/><br/>Brownie has not yet been formally cat-tested, but given her sweet and social demeanor, we believe she may do well with cats. A proper introduction and supervision would, of course, be important. We can cat test her for an applicant.<br/><br/>Working on Her House Manners:<br/><br/>Brownie is crate-trained and is currently working on mastering her house training. She’s a smart young girl who just needs a family willing to continue helping her learn.<br/><br/>With patience, consistency, and a regular routine, Brownie should continue making great progress.<br/><br/>An Active Girl Looking for an Active Family:<br/><br/>Brownie has energy to burn and would love a family who enjoys walks, adventures, playtime, and outdoor activities.<br/><br/>She enjoys her walks and would do wonderfully with regular neighborhood walks. She also loves playing with toys and would be thrilled to have a family who wants to spend time playing with her.<br/><br/>She even likes trying to catch birds! Don't worry—we don't let her!<br/><br/>Brownie would love a family that will keep her body active and her mind engaged while also giving her plenty of affection and attention.<br/><br/>Why Brownie?<br/><br/>Because underneath that hilarious diva personality is a really sweet girl who just wants to be loved.<br/><br/>Brownie has already been through so much. She started life scared, covered in fleas and ticks, and unsure of what the future held. She was given a second chance, but after seven months at the sanctuary, she's still waiting for someone to look past her big personality and realize what a wonderful companion she could be.<br/><br/>She doesn't need to be perfect. She just needs someone who will love her for exactly who she is—the energetic, affectionate, vocal, playful, slightly demanding, absolutely adorable Queen Brownie. <br/><br/>Brownie is ready for a family who will take her on adventures, play with her toys, take her for walks, give her all the attention she believes she deserves, and most importantly, love her forever.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a sweet, energetic Shepherd mix with a big personality and even bigger heart, Brownie may be your girl. <br/><br/>Seven months is far too long to wait for a forever family. Brownie is ready to be someone's Queen. <br/><br/> PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW IF INTERESTED IN ADOPTING:<br/><br/>The next step to adopt is to fill out an application on our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org <br/><br/>This doggy is spayed/neutered, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. <br/><br/>This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily.
