My story

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

🤎 Meet Brookie 🐾

Brownie is approximately 1 year old and weighs about 52 lbs. Her breed is a bit of a mystery—possibly Husky, Some kind of Bull or Pitbull Terrier, Shepherd, Kelpie or something but she’s definitely a mixed breed and 100% lovable. We did find she looked most like photos of tri-colored husky/Kelpie mixes but we're still guessing!

Brookie is dog-friendly with a truly sweet personality. She loves to play fetch and is happiest when she can snuggle on the couch with her people 🥰. She is a total cuddle bug and hopes her future family will happily share their couch with her.

She is crate trained and house trained and does great at night—quiet in her crate with no accidents. She also knows “sit”, and we were working on “down.” When she knows someone is home, she’s content, calm, and relaxed in her crate.

During the day, Brookie can experience some separation anxiety and worries she’s been left alone forever, which may cause her to vocalize. Because of this, she may do best in a home with another dog for companionship or with TV or music left on to help her feel less alone 🎶🐕.

Brookie was unsure about cats at first and would bark and scare them, but she did show improvement after a few days—especially once one brave kitty came close enough for her to investigate. A slow, patient introduction would be important in a cat home.

She had a couple of accidents while adjusting, but for the most part understands that potty time is outside. There is no aggression—just a sensitive girl who wants reassurance and love ❤️.

🩺 Brookie will be fully vetted before adoption, including:
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Heartworm & Lyme negative
✔️ On heartworm prevention
✔️ On flea & tick prevention
✔️ Spayed prior to adoption
✔️ Microchipped prior to adoption

💲 Adoption fee: $225

Brookie is looking for a family who understands that love, patience, and cuddles go a long way—and who won’t mind sharing their couch with a very devoted snuggle buddy 🤎🐾

Their adoption process

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

We do allow walk ins to meet animals they may want to adopt. We do not allow people to walk through the kennels we bring the animal to you.

2.

Submit Application

Not all animals need an application but some may need one due to having special needs or not being spayed or neutered yet.

3.

Take the Pet Home

You can usually take a pet home same day on foster or adoption. Foster is for a week for compatibility. Not all animals qualify for foster

Additional adoption info

Once an animal is chosen, you will pay the adoption fee via cash or card. The card does charge a fee to use. If an animal is not spayed or neutered yet we will schedule it with one of our vets or you may schedule it at your own vet and receive a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $60 for cats. All animals are microchipped except barn cats.
