Brooklyn

Brooklyn is a shy, sweet, slender medium-sized mixed breed. She and her daughter (since adopted) entered our care due to their owner's health. He had a stroke and was no longer able to safely care for them. Although shy, it is evident that Brooklyn was loved deeply by her owner. She does enjoy walks, and she is getting more confident as staff and volunteers spend repeated time with her. Once you get down on her level, she will fight her fear in order to lay next to you and request some gentle pets. We think that in a home, consistent love and care will easily bring her out of her shell. And how rewarding, to finally be the one that gains her trust once more! Brooklyn passed her dog aggression test on intake; she would do best with a lower energy dog or one who is respectful of others' space. She is very content to share a yard and space with another dog; she just doesn't appreciate being rushed or jumped on. She tends to be avoidant, but she will correct if need be!
