My story

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

***Currently located in Seattle, WA***



Hi, I’m Brownie!



And if you’re looking for a sweet spot in your life, I’m your girl!



Like a lot of dogs in Mexico, I spent the first several months of my life out on the street, searching for food, love, and a safe place to rest. I was around seven months old when I was picked up by the rescue. Once I arrived at the shelter, I knew things were finally looking up.



Physically, I’m what you might call a slightly untypical Mexi-Mutt. Still gorgeous, of course —but my body’s a little stockier and I am not as long-legged as my fellow shelter mates! 



Personality-wise? I’m a total cuddlebug. I absolutely love affection, and I’ll gladly soak up all the love you want to give. But once I’ve had my fill, I’m just as happy to wander off and curl up in my favorite spot—like the bottom shelf of an old bookcase (yes, really!). I’ve got this lovely medium energy that makes me super easy to live with. I can get excited and playful (especially when other dogs are involved!), but I also know how to settle down, relax, and enjoy the moment. You can leave me chilling while you work or do your thing, and when you come back to me, I’ll be so happy you're there again.



I love to play and don’t mind a bit of roughhousing—especially with the bigger dogs here. I adjust really well to the dogs around me. I’d do great in a home with other playful pups, but I can also be content with solo adventures and quality time with my human.



Some other things about me:
I’m crate trained and actually go in willingly when I need to
I walk well on leash and love going outside
I’m food motivated and eager to learn
I’ve got a good amount of confidence for a street pup—just enough to thrive, not too much to cause trouble!



Even though I didn’t grow up as a pet, I’ve adjusted fast—and I’m ready to keep learning what it means to be someone’s dog. I’d really love a family that can give me structure, love, and fun… in equal measure.



At the end of a long day, I promise: a Brownie is all you need.



With love and facelicks,
Your Brownie

More about this rescue

Surfers for Strays was started in January of 2017 by Isabel Velasco and Natalie Ritenour when they rescued 7 puppies and their mother, who had been abandoned at a local hot springs in Lagunillas, Guerrero, Mexico. The puppies were being eaten alive by parasites and their mother was severely malnourished.

Working together the women devised a plan to house and care for the animals and raise funds and more importantly, raise awareness to sterilize pets. They gained enough support in the local community to start helping “callajeros”, street animals in the villages of Troncones, Los Llanos, La Saladita and surrounding regions.

With the help of local veterinarians and citizens, they organized spay and neuter clinics and a program to educate children on how to treat and care for animals. Surfers and other travelers began volunteering and growing the network to foster and adopt animals in the US and Canada. With that momentum and the love and support of key volunteers, Surfers for Strays Inc. was founded in August of 2019 to cover more ground and help more animals escape the cycle of neglect, abuse and abandonment. From 2020-2021, Surfers for Strays adopted out more than 250 dogs and cats to fur-ever homes in North America and paid for more than 3,150 dogs and cats to be spayed and neutered in local communities in Mexico.

Your donations support our programs to sterilize, rehabilitate, find fosters and adopters for animals in need. Your donations also support education programs for the humane treatment of animals in underserved communities. Together we are saving animals and sharing the Mucho Aloha spirit.
