Meet Brownie – Strong, Active, and Waiting Over 3 Years for a Home!

Brownie has been at the shelter for more than three years, and during that time, he has made an incredible transformation. When he first arrived, he was just skin and bones, struggling to survive. Now, he is a strong, active, and confident dog, ready for a home of his own.

He still has a protective side when it comes to food, so his future home should be mindful of this. Brownie would do best with an experienced owner who can match his energy and provide the structure he thrives on. He loves being active and will make a great companion for someone who enjoys an energetic and playful dog. Could you be the one to finally give him the home he deserves? 💙
