About BROWNIE

Hello- my name is BROWNIE! I have been fostered now for quite some time by the Founder of ADR.org here on Orcas Island, WA -but I would really like to have my own home with MY Human. So what are you waiting for- I know YOU are out there! I have been living and interacting with other dogs (males and females), and I am used to be around cats, but if I could choose my best next buddy then I think a playful and energetic female would hit my spot. My personality is rather shy but an active female who runs the show - I think I can fall for that idea! :) I am a neutered Lab/ American Staffordshire mix , and about 7-8 yrs. old. Weight wise I will bring 48lbs to the scale. I am up to date with vaccinations, healthy and microchipped. I do not have health issues. I came from an abusive home where I was reprimanded - physically and was yelled at a lot - and from early age on. Fear was always on my side. Hence still now sometimes it can happen that I fall into the fear/flee mood when a situation that I am going through now reminds me of my earlier years. As a puppy I was kept mostly in a dark shed, when the door opened - I just ran out. But then, when it got scary for me I ran back into that dark place just to feel save again. What effect is has on me still, you might ask...well, where I have been living now here, I feel comfortable so I would find my way back home. On the other side and if I would run away though in an area that I do not know, I would be lost and I would not find home by myself. I would not react to anyone calling my name and searching for me- I would hide and eventually not survive. I do not ask for a lot of exercise and hour-long walks, but frequent walks would be nice, and a solid fenced yard where I can see the other side of the fence would be nice, too. I am not a city dog, nor a high-rise apartment dog. If you need to know more stories about me, and background info or videos, the founder of ADR.org would be so happy to share those with you on request. If you are interested, PLEASE send an email to: [email protected] (this is the email address) so that the founder of ADR.org can connect with you via a phone call. WOOFLY, Brownie February 2023
