Story
Meet Axel ❤️ Axel is a 10 year old Boxer mix with a personality that will steal your heart instantly. He came to us as an owner surrender, but it’s clear he’s always been loved and socialized — Axel adores everyone he meets. He’s great with dogs, cats, and kids, making him a true family companion. Axel is potty, crate, and leash trained, and he thrives with free roaming — he’s not destructive at all. He’s amazing in public and adapts beautifully to new situations, making him an all-around perfect companion. He’s vocal and loves to “talk” to you, especially if you’re a woman — he’ll happily become your shadow, following you everywhere with love and loyalty. This sweet guy has so much personality: he gets zoomies in the backyard, howls like a husky, loves car rides, and has a hilarious obsession with salami. Axel is genuinely one of the most perfect dogs you could hope to meet — affectionate, playful, and endlessly loving. 📍 Located in Richmond, Kentucky 💰 Adoption fee: $250 Axel is fully vetted and ready to find a home where he can be loved and spoiled for the rest of his days. He’s truly one of a kind and will bring joy, laughter, and unconditional love to any family. Message our Facebook page or email fureverbrookehaven@gmail.com to meet him!

Story
Meet Brandy ❤️ Brandy is a 9 year old Chow/Border Collie mix with a sweet, gentle soul and a personality full of love. She’s great with dogs, cats, and kids — we recommend her with children over 10 years old. Brandy is potty, crate, and leash trained, though she does best on a consistent schedule to avoid accidents. Brandy shines in public and is fantastic with kids. At one adoption event, a few children even wrapped themselves around her, and she stayed calm and loving through it all. She’s a bit of a lazy lady who loves her naps, but she also enjoys playing and socializing with other dogs. Brandy hasn’t always had the easiest life, and she’s a little sensitive about her collar being grabbed, so she needs a patient, understanding home. She also requires ongoing allergy medication — this sweet “snotty nose old lady” needs someone willing to care for her lifelong health needs. 📍 Located in Richmond, Kentucky 💰 Adoption fee: $250 Brandy is fully vetted and ready for a calm, loving home where she can relax, be pampered, and live out her golden years in comfort. Message our Facebook page or email fureverbrookehaven@gmail.com to meet her!
