My name is Brownie!

Brownie is a 4 or 5-year-old dog with a loving, affectionate nature. She was originally found chained behind a convenience store, abandoned and alone. For the past three years, she lived with my father and brother, but our situation has drastically changed, my dad is now in hospice care, and my brother cannot care for her.

Brownie just wants to be close to people. She is deeply emotional and struggles with separation anxiety; even if I step outside briefly, she starts whining, likely fearing abandonment again. Right now, I can keep her temporarily thanks to my landlord's understanding, but this is not a permanent solution.

I've explored options to buy a home where we could stay together, but even with a full-time and part-time job, I can't afford housing in New Jersey. This heartbreaking situation has left me desperate for help. If anyone can offer support or a solution, it would mean everything to us.
