Brookie

Brookie / F / 3Y / 97lbs / Golden Retriever / Fostered in Paisley 

Brookie is a sweet, snuggly girl looking for a foster-to-adopt home, and she is ready to give all her love to the right people. Brookie is scheduled for a spay and a few teeth extractions on December 9th, and her adoption will be finalized after that. Adopters must be able to bring her to our vet clinic in Owen Sound for the appointment.

If you're looking for a cozy companion, Brookie is it. Her favourite thing in the world is relaxing on the couch or the bed with her people. She is cuddly, relaxed, curious, and loving, with a little timid streak at times. She's medium to low energy, so she'll happily go on a long walk if you take her, but she's just as content staying home if you don't. And she's fantastic on the leash, with no pulling at all! She is currently on a weight loss journey. 

- Potty trained

- Good with dogs (she's very submissive and easygoing)

- Good with cats

- Good with respectful children 

- Doesn't guard anything

- Settles in the car after some initial panting

- Not food motivated at all. We've tried every treat imaginable and she's just not interested!

Brookie can be a little timid meeting new people. She waits politely for them to approach her, then sits with a happy tail wag. She also spooks easily at sudden movements and loud noises, especially on walks, and isn't a fan of doorways or gates. She's not crate trained and doesn't love the crate, but she does well when left for a few hours in a controlled space like a living room. She does have separation anxiety and is currently receiving trazodone when she's left alone. She will try to escape the home to find her people, so she does need a family who is home most of the time and who will continue to work through this with her.
