NEW - 30 DECEMBER 2025: Welcome to our newest pair of bonded pups! What a sweet beagle mix duo! Fito and Lady Whistledown found themselves homeless when their owner had to give them up due to limits on how many dogs were allowed in the apartment. A very kind friend agreed to take the dogs temporarily until a home could be found, but he could not keep them. BREW agreed to take the two, and they were dropped off at our December adoption event. They were not quite sure what was happening. Lady longed to sit in a volunteer's lap while Fito longed to always be near Lady. The good news is they were able to get into a foster home together, so we will be learning more about them. In the meantime, here is what the kind friend had to say about these two:
Demeanor/temperament: shy at first and may bark at strangers, but they warm up quickly and are very sweet, loving and playful once they get to know you.
Demeanor with other dogs, animals, people: sometimes bark at other dogs and squirrels. They may bark at dogs and people/children they don’t know at first but calm down once they get to know them. I have not seen them bark at children, but if they sometimes bark at other people, they may bark at some children.
Stay tuned as we see how these two do in their foster home!
Questions?
Q: Can you tell me more about a specific dog? Is s/he good with kids / housetrained / good with cats/ etc?
A: What we know is in the write up. Our knowledge about any dog that is not in a foster homes is limited. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will work with you to match you with the right dog.
Q: Can I meet a specific dog?
A: We’re sorry, but you must be an approved adopter to meet our dogs. Pre-pandemic, dogs could be met at adoption days, but you still had to be approved to adopt from an adoption day.
Q: How can I adopt a specific dog?
A: You must submit an adoption application and be approved to adopt. You can do that under Adopt – you can also learn about the adoption process there.. It will take about two weeks for an adoption coordinator to get in touch with you. Please keep in mind that dogs that are available now may be adopted in the meantime. But we are always getting new dogs. You can see them on our website.
Q: Can I add another dog to the list on my application?
A: We don’t hold you to the dogs you listed on your application. It gives us an idea of what you are looking for. Plus it will let us know if someone is interested in one of our special needs / hard to place dogs.
Q: I indicated that I was interested in a specific dog on my application, but I see that s/he has been adopted. What happened?
A: We do not hold dogs. Applicants in the queue before you are being approved and may adopt the dog you are interested in before you are approved. But we are always getting new dogs in and your adoption coordinator will help you find the perfect match.
