and brought to our shelter. Brie is an independent woman who can be aloof when meeting new people. She will come say a quick hello with a wagging tail and check your hands for cookies, but unless you’re familiar to her, she goes on her way. Brie likes to go for walks and LOVES to roll in the grass. She isn’t much for toys, but this girl loves food and treats. She would enjoy doing food puzzles and enrichment toys to pass the time with her new family. Brie needs to be the only pet in your home because she does not like other animals. Her new family will need to be savvy and keep her away from other animals when walking and out in public. Not having any previous history about her, she isn’t suitable to live with children. When Brie first got to the shelter she had some missing fur and skin sensitivities. She likely has some allergies that her new family will need to care for to make her comfortable. During her spay, the vet also removed a lump off of her that was a mast cell tumor. These tumors can pop up on older dogs and need to be removed. If you think Brie may be the one for you, please contact the shelter
