444 (2025) Brownie

My story

Adoption Fee: $475 When available, all animals are fixed in accordance with Colorado law, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped! From the foster: Hi my name is Brownie, it is very nice to meet you. I have an unknown first six months of my life but the last few weeks of my life I was in a shelter where humans were scary to me. Loud noises also had scared me at the same point. But when I first met my foster mom and her tiny humans I felt a little relief. I was still really scared of them but they gave me my time and my space to really get used to the new environment. If it weren’t for my foster brother, I would still be very scared. I watched my foster brother (a big black dog) interact with his mom and started following his lead. With his help I found that stairs, hardwood floors, grass and even humans are not so scary. It took me a full day to allow my foster mom to pet me but she also let me have lots of treats from her hand which wasn’t so bad. I’m even allowed to get up on the coach, that’s when I will lay my head on my fosters moms feet or even curl up on her legs. I’m trying to understand this whole potty training thing, but I do hold it at night in my kennel, I even sleep through the night without making a noise. Leashes really scare me, so I will pancake myself and not want to walk with one. But with time, training and lots of treats I know that I’ll get comfortable with them. Tips to working with me is that I’m very food motivated. However, I’m not aggressive when it comes to food and I will not jump all over you to get a treat. You also have to ignore me for me to get used to humans. With time, patience and compassion I know that I will grow into not being so fearful when it comes to humans. I can't wait to meet my forever family who will show me the right path to being the perfect doggy companion. www.coloradopuppy.org/how-to-adopt
