Retriever and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi, I'm Brooklyn

I've had a bit of a rough start in life, but I'm doing so much better now. Thanks to my foster family, I've gained weight, learned what it feels like to be safe, and discovered that life can be pretty wonderful.

I'm a sweet, quiet, and calm girl who loves peaceful moments and gentle company. I live happily with other dogs and get along well with them, making me a great addition to a home with furry friends already in it. I had a short stay with a foster sitter where we found out that I not a great match with cats.

I may not be the loudest or flashiest pup in the room, but I have a soft heart and a lot of love to give. I'm ready for a forever home where I can continue to grow, feel secure, and be loved for the good girl I am.

If you're looking for a gentle soul to share your life with, I just might be your Brooklyn!

I also qualify for the Welcome Trial program, which means you can take me home for up to 14 days to make sure I'm the perfect fit before making things official. ...
