smile that lights up every room and a personality that fills up the rest of it. She is full of herself, expressive, affectionate, and absolutely convinced that she is the most interesting thing happening in any given space. She is usually right.
Brookie is currently 18 pounds and working her way toward her ideal weight of 13-15 pounds, and she has decided this is less a diet and more a lifestyle upgrade. She loves to walk with the kind of enthusiasm that makes you want to step up your own fitness a bit too, and she is looking for a partner who will show up for her daily. In return, she will show up for you in every way a small, devoted dog possibly can.
Brookie knows how to keep herself entertained, and she is not shy about asking for help when she needs it. She will toss her toys around solo for a while, and then march right over and drop one in your lap as a not-so-subtle invitation to get in on a game of fetch. She is warm, engaged, and deeply interested in the people she loves. She will burrow under the blankets for the night, giving her people disturbance-free sleep, and she has the Dachshund's famous loyalty and sharp, curious intelligence, the kind that keeps her always watching, always learning, and always ready to be exactly where you are.
Brookie has the classic long, low Doxie silhouette, and she carries it well. A set of pet steps by her favorite couch or bed and a home without long daily stair climbs are just part of keeping a girl with that shape comfortable and thriving for years to come, small, easy touches that become second nature fast. She is ready to find her person, apply now, and get to work on the best chapter of her life.
Brookie's adoption fee is $500, which goes directly toward her vetting (vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm/Ehrlichia/Lyme test, fecal test, pre-op blood work, dental cleaning, and microchip, as well as grooming if needed). If you are interested, please fill out the adoption application. For additional information regarding our adoption process, please check our FAQ's Page.
