BROWNIE

Sleek tan coat. Nub tail.

HISTORY: Was found emaciated and tied up in a backyard before being rescued by H.O.W.S.

Brownie is a heartwarming boxer mix who is a true testament to how a dog’s life can change when given a chance. Rescued when he was emaciated and in need of care after his owner had passed away, he’s been making a remarkable recovery and his spunk is returning with each passing day. Brownie’s sweet and gentle nature has never wavered – he’s an absolute gem who radiates love and affection. Brownie’s love for people is undeniable. Leaning against you for pets, he offers a comforting presence with his sweet nature. With his health improving, he has found his love for going on walks with an excitement that could put younger dogs to shame! You can often see him curled up on his soft bed, snoozing the day away. We can see this boy loving every minute of living in a home with couches and dog beds to curl up on. At 16 years young, Brownie is seeking a cozy and caring forever home where he can spend his golden years.

Fall Update 2024: Brownie still continues to amaze. Now over 16 years old, His age has finally caught up with him. While his body declines, his zest for life and all things food remains intact. His recent vet visit tells us that Brownie has severe arthritis and marked muscle wasting in the hind end. Ever the get up and go guy, his body struggles to match his spirit. We now will be adding pain injections to his pain management regime in the hopes that he will be more comfortable. Surprisingly he still does give his morning walkers an excellent jog to help keep them in shape, However he has slowed down a bit. He also seems to have some cognitive decline as well. It has been decided that Brownie will now be a lifelong resident here at CFC. We feel that he is happy with his routine and his people that he loves here, and would not adjust well to any radical changes at this stage in his life. We are committed to giving him the best care possible and being there for him as the time grows near. Any positive thoughts, vibes, or prayers are welcome. Keep trucking Brownie. We all are here to hold your paw and shower you with the love and care you so clearly deserve. It is an honor to do so. 

Fall update 2023: Brownie is 16 years young and is surprising us more and more every day! He’s making up for lost time since being freed from life at the end of a chain. This guy actually pulls volunteers while on his walks and aced his ‘stair test’ though it was obvious he initially had no idea what they were. The sky’s the limit for this amazing, brave dog.
