Story
Meet Brownie 🤎✨ This 3-year-old Pit Bull–Vizsla mix is the total package — smart, adventurous, and oh-so-cuddly. Brownie is a slender, athletic girl with medium energy who thrives on walks, hikes, and exploring new places. While she’s not into fetch or stuffies, she LOVES puzzle toys that challenge her brain. 🧩 She’s a quick learner and eager to please! When she’s not out adventuring, Brownie transforms into the sweetest cuddle bug. She’ll happily curl up by your side, soak up pets and scratches, and shower you with endless kisses. 💕 Around other dogs, Brownie can coexist peacefully, but she’s still learning how to set healthy boundaries. With guidance, she’ll keep building her skills so she can relax and feel supported instead of having to handle things on her own. She hasn’t lived with cats or kids, so we’re not sure how she’d do in that setting, but out in the world, nothing rattles her. Barking dogs, bikers, skateboarders, even concerts—she takes it all in stride. Brownie is calm, steady, and always ready to be your adventure buddy. 🥾 If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will join you on life’s adventures and snuggle up afterward, Brownie is your girl. 📩 Email peacfulpawsrecovery@gmail.com to learn more about adopting Brownie!

Story
Lemon was rescued from the euthanasia list by another rescue that then abandoned her leaving her hopeless yet again. When Lavender Run was finally able to have the previous rescue agree to relinquish her, this sweet angel arrived emaciated, battling kennel cough and with some behavioral issues that have been addressed. Despite everything she’s endured, Lemon’s gentle spirit shines through — she’s sweet, affectionate, and grateful for every kind touch. She will thrive as the most perfect, playful, snuggle bug in the right home! Can you be this sweetheart's final safe space so she can experience real love? Lemon is professionally on and off leash trained. Her adoption fee includes 4 required follow up training sessions. While Lemon is super snuggly and an absolute sweetheart, she has some spice inside of her, it is important her new family understands how to properly handle these rare moments so this incredible dog can have the support she deserves. Lemon will do best in a child-free and dog-free home.
