Hi, my name is Brownie, but everyone calls me Brutus. It's my nickname and I like it a lot better than "Brownie." I was dumped at the local shelter by my former owner. I am 6 years old and I am a gentle giant. I am fully housetrained with strong couch potato tendencies. I am a neutered male who weighs 82 lbs. I am a very gentle boy with a fun and playful side. I passed my temperament test with flying colors. I get along great with other dogs. My best buddy is a senior small dog. We cuddle a lot on the couch. I'm super smart and know lots of stuff, like "high five," "sit" and "down." I am looking for a loving forever home. I don't want to be bothered by puppies jumping on my head, but I like to play with dogs my speed and/or my age. I am going to make a very lucky family, very, very happy. Please give me a chance. Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, neuter, 30 days of free pet insurance and microchip.

Adoption and Foster Care Application
NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Adoption Process: Complete the application at
www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
