Brownie *ELIGIBLE FOR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT* ✈️ Brownie is arriving to NYC on Wednesday, November 18 and needs a foster! He's making his cross-country journey all the way from San Diego, California to the East Coast to start his next chapter—and as you can see, he is already practicing sitting like a very distinguished gentleman! Brownie is a 1-year-old, 20-pound small mixed breed (maybe terrier/chihuahua, maybe a tiny touch of lab, if we had to guess!). If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, and playful companion, Brownie may be your guy. As if his charming, sit-up-straight personality isn't enough, his gorgeous chocolate brown coat, tuxedo markings, little white chocolate-dipped feet, and incredibly expressive, soul-searching eyes are enough to just melt your heart. Just look at that polite, hopeful face! Like any young pup, Brownie will likely need a little time to acclimate and some patient guidance with house, leash, and crate training as he adjusts to city life. Fortunately, he is known to be both human and dog-friendly, and would likely love the company of another pup to show him the ropes! No additional photos or information are available at this time. By applying for Brownie, you will participate in our foster / foster-to-adopt program! Let’s get this handsome boy a warm welcome to the East Coast—apply to foster Brownie today! Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella, microchipped and neutered. Heartworm negative and current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply for Brownie, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available. Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue. Adoptions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org

Chihuahua

🧠 Temperament

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, and playful companion, Brownie may be your guy. Bold and deeply bonded to one or two people.

🎾 Exercise

We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. Low — short walks and indoor play are plenty.

✂️ Grooming

Easy for both smooth and long coats. Dental care is the real priority; small breeds are prone to tooth disease.

🏙️ In a NYC apartment

Like any young pup, Brownie will likely need a little time to acclimate and some patient guidance with house, leash, and crate training as he adjusts…. Extremely apartment-friendly and easy to carry on the subway.
