Brie Elle - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Brie Elle

Brie is a beautiful mama who has already given everything she had to her babies. Now it is her turn to be cherished.

Brie was surrendered to a county shelter in Georgia while she was in labor. In the middle of a loud and unfamiliar shelter, with nowhere safe or comfortable to give birth, Brie delivered two adorable little babies right there on the shelter floor.

It is heartbreaking to imagine what this sweet mama must have been feeling. She should have had a warm, quiet place to give birth, someone caring for her, and a family making sure she was safe. Instead, she found herself bringing her babies into the world in a county shelter.

But Brie was a mama through it all.

She cared for her little ones and did what she could to keep them safe. And now, after everything she has been through, we want something different for her.

Brie deserves to be cherished.

She deserves a soft bed, gentle hands, a safe home, and someone who will look at this beautiful girl and realize just how special she is. She has spent so much of her life giving to others. Now we want her to have a family who will give everything back to her.

Her babies may have needed their mama, but Brie needs someone to be her family, too.

Please consider opening your heart and home to this incredible girl. Brie has been a mama long enough. Now it is her turn to be someone's baby.

Please remember that adoption bios are only a snapshot of each animal. They are meant to give you a glimpse into their personality and story, but there is so much more to learn. Please reach out to our Adoption Team for additional information about Brie and to learn if she may be the right fit for your home.

All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
