Meet Brown Dog: Abandoned in The Brown Center parking lot, Brown Dog’s past is a mystery, but one thing’s for sure—he’s a Very Good Boy with a huge heart. This handsome Shepherd mix is strong and determined on the leash, but with just a few minutes of practice, he’s already showing how smart he is, learning to walk with a loose leash. We’re working with him daily on his leash manners, and he’s picking up cues quickly! Update: He stills pulls on the leash! Since he has to be on a leash ALL the time, we stopped Brown Dog was diagnosed with heartworms and Lyme disease. He’s already started prescription treatments, and he’ll return to the vet on December 16, 2024, to begin his heartworm treatment journey. While his recovery will take time, we’re committed to seeing him through every step of it.

He received to injections and returned to an isolated foster location to keep him calm. He's staying calm, has a good appetite, has good bowel movements and his kidneys are working well.
