My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Location: Gloucester, VA

This is Brownie, a sweet loving little guy. This dude came to the pound with hardly any hair.

He is being treated for his issues and is not contagious, and is working on a new look. You will be amazed at how quickly this ragged little guy will change into a striking and beautifully fluffy dog. This skin issue is not permanent, he just needs some time to grow his new "do" Brownie is a sweet boy, loving and anxious to show you what a handsome and striking dog he can be....He loves being cuddled and stroked, and doesn't want you to leave. He leans into you and is anxious to please, making him a joy to be with. He needs a foster home where he can heal, relax, and be more comfortable than he is in this noisy cold pound. He is both sweet and silly, and slightly embarrassed about his current fashion statement. We have promised him we would help him find someone to help him, someone with a warm heart, who would love sharing a soft couch, some yummy food, and romps in the yard. This would be an act of kindness towards one of nature's most deserving creatures, and you will be rewarded with the devotion that only a dog who has been through tough times can offer. We are looking for either an adoptive home or a foster home for him.

Please contact Joyce for more information or to meet this fine pup.
