Picture her in a little belly dancer skirt—she’d rock it! Winnie’s a pro at snuggles, giving gentle “hugs,” and making people smile with her happy, friendly demeanor. She’s house-trained and crate-trained, with an adorable routine of “outside time” she just can’t get enough of! While she’s got no leash-pulling, she’s got a zigzag style that adds to her charm. **Quirks:**   GREAT with dogs, cats, and kids Enjoys her meals solo – mealtime privacy, please!   Not a fan of car rides (motion sickness alert!), but give her a leash, and she’s ready for an adventure, even if it’s a bit of a zigzag!

Story
Do you see this sweet face? How can you resist her? Brownie is looking for her forever home! She’s approximately 7-year-old Staffordshire mix and was originally rescued with her seven puppies. She was an incredible mama to her litter, who have all been adopted. She is a mellow girl, so appreciative of snuggles, and just happy to be near those who reciprocate her love. Brownie is house trained and learns quickly. She LOVES walks. Brownie loves to be near her humans, cuddling with them any chance she can. Brownie’s been through enough and has always cared for others—she’s ready to be spoiled and have a family all to herself. However, if you’re interested in adopting her and you have other pets, she would do best living with calm dogs. If you are interested in adopting this sweet girl, please reach out! She’s ready for you! Fenced in yard is a must. Must be experienced with the breed. https://www.pawliferescuegroup.org/adoptable-pets/brownie
