Meet Brownie! 👑🐾 Brownie is a 1½-year-old, 42-pound Shepherd mix who is sweet, energetic, affectionate, and absolutely convinced the world revolves around her! ❤️ And honestly… she may have a point. 😉 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. 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. Brownie has now been at the sanctuary for seven months, and sadly, no one has chosen her yet. And it’s absolutely no fault of her own. 💔 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. 👑 Meet the Diva Brownie is sweet, energetic, affectionate, and definitely knows what she wants! She is a vocal girl and will happily let you know when something doesn’t meet her very high Queen Brownie standards. 😂 Does she like something? She’ll tell you. Does she NOT like something? Oh, you’ll definitely hear about that too! 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. ❤️ 🐕 Dog Friendly Brownie loves other dogs and would be perfectly happy sharing her home with another canine companion. 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. 👧 Great with Kids Brownie would do well with children and would love having kids around to play with and shower her with attention. 🐱 Cats 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. 🏡 Working on Her House Manners 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. With patience, consistency, and a regular routine, Brownie should continue making great progress. 🥾 An Active Girl Looking for an Active Family Brownie has energy to burn and would love a family who enjoys walks, adventures, playtime, and outdoor activities. 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. She even likes trying to catch birds! 🐦😂 Don't worry—we don't let her! Brownie would love a family that will keep her body active and her mind engaged while also giving her plenty of affection and attention. ❤️ Why Brownie? Because underneath that hilarious diva personality is a really sweet girl who just wants to be loved. 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. 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. 👑❤️ 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. If you're looking for a sweet, energetic Shepherd mix with a big personality and even bigger heart, Brownie may be your girl. 🐾❤️ Seven months is far too long to wait for a forever family. Brownie is ready to be someone's Queen. 👑 PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW IF INTERESTED IN ADOPTING: The next step to adopt is to fill out an application on our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org 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.

🤎🐾 LILLY 🐾🤎 “She didn't need fixing. She needed someone to give her time.” Meet Lilly. Lilly is a 3½-year-old Belgian Malinois mix, 47 pounds, and one of those dogs who reminds you why rescue matters in the first place. She was found wandering the streets of Del Rio, Texas, terrified and completely shut down. At animal control, she was so frightened that she hid her face, avoided eye contact, and panicked on leash. She wasn't aggressive — she was simply scared and didn't know who or what she could trust. Then someone gave her something every scared dog deserves: Time. Lilly went into foster care and slowly began figuring out that people could be kind. She spent months learning that a house could be safe, a yard could be fun, and a human hand could mean a head scratch instead of something to fear. And somewhere along the way, Lilly blossomed. Her foster families discovered a very different dog hiding underneath all that worry: a sweet girl who loves other dogs, enjoys affection, comes over for hugs and head scratches, and is perfectly happy curling up on the couch. In her current foster home, Lily has completely settled into the dog pack and even claimed her very own spot behind her foster mom's desk. Her official job title: World's Best Coworker. 😂 And yes, she still has a little shyness. Lilly isn't the dog who is going to burst through the front door on day one and announce, “Hi! We're best friends!” She's more of a... “I'll be over here quietly observing you. Give me a little while. Then I'll probably come sit next to you.” And when she finally decides you're her person? Oh, that's when the magic happens. She loves affection. She loves other dogs. She enjoys being part of a household. And she has a wonderfully gentle, sweet nature that her foster families have worked incredibly hard to uncover. Lilly's adoption résumé: ✔️ 3½ years old ✔️ Belgian Malinois mix ✔️ 47 pounds ✔️ Spayed ✔️ Microchipped ✔️ Up to date on vaccinations ✔️ Dewormed ✔️ Heartworm negative ✔️ Dog friendly ✔️ Sweet and affectionate ✔️ Loves treats ✔️ Loves couch time ✔️ Loves her people Lilly doesn't need someone to “fix” her. She needs someone who understands that trust is something you build, not something you demand. Someone patient. Someone kind. Someone who will let her take that last little step from “I'm learning to trust you” to “You're my person.” Because Lilly has already done the hard part. She went from hiding in a corner to becoming somebody's beloved couch potato and best coworker. Now she just needs a forever home where she can keep becoming the dog she was always meant to be. And honestly? I think she's going to be someone's very favorite dog. 🤎

Rip a 4 yr old, Malinois/Belgian Shepherd mix. He is a big boy at 90lbs. Rip is very intelligent and eager to please. He is very food motivated. He knows many basic commands, including sit, touch, down, paw and is working on roll over. He is also crate trained. Rip enjoys going on long walks with staff and volunteers. Rip's walking ability has received glowing reviews, as our walkers have told us he is one of the most enjoyable dogs to walk. Rip enjoys human interaction, and will ask for attention and affection at any given opportunity. Like any good dog he loves a butt scratch, a belly rub and a head pat. As for other dogs, Rip is selective. He enjoys the company of a dominant female, who can doll out and receive some rough and rowdy play. As much as he loves kids of all ages, due to his size and general doofiness a home with children is not recommended. Rip is also not suitable for a home with cats. For more information on Rip Wheeler, call AWS at 860-354-1350 email animalwelfare.socty@snet.net or visit our website aws-shelter.org for a pre adopt application.

They are 2 loving girls, lots of energy but great eaters and sleepers. Lucie loves to swim in the pool or lake, Lillie once in lake. They love company. I bought them for my late husband. I just found out I am highly allergic to them, they just need to stay together, have never been separated, and are good watch dogs. I just want them to be safe and cared for.

Hi my name is Loki. I am hoping to find my new forever home!I suffered a tremendous loss when my human mom passed away after a brief battle with cancer. I am being fostered by my pet sitter so I didn't end up in a shelter but I'd like my own forever home. About me: I am a chocolate lab mix (a little shepherd/husky). I do have a double coat. I can be a lap dog at times, I walk well using a gentle leader, I'm great in the car, crate trained, have no separation anxiety, I enjoy playing in water on warm days and daily long walks where I love to randomly plop and roll in the grass. I'm told I'm a little goofy and also very handsome.I need to be an only pet in the house. Absolutely NO cats. An experienced big dog owner would be ideal for me but anyone interested in me please reach out!!!I do need an active person so we can enjoy eachothers company on daily walks. Can't wait to find my new forever person/people!
