Greetings, pups and people. Leroy here. I used to think I was a grade-A kisser until I met ol’ Brownie. This sweet pooch is not only generous with the smooches, but he’s also a pro at giving warm, snuggly hugs. He should do shampoo commercials with that thick and soft fur coat of his! I got me some ruff competition, I tell ya.
Lucky for you, Brownie is one of my buddies featured this month in i Love Dogs‘ campaign to find homes for 31 pooches. That’s right, the sweet huggin’ Brownster needs a furever home like yours, where he’ll shower you with kisses and hugs. Here’s Brownie himself to tell you his story.
Hi there, everybody. Very nice to meet you. I’m Brownie. I’m around 7 years old, and I’m a Lab/terrier mix.
I used to be in an animal shelter in Los Angeles. It was scary, but the people there were really nice to me. They liked it a lot when I kissed them. They told me over and over not to worry, that someone would come along and fall in love with me just like they had. But a long time passed, and I worried. The nice people still said not to worry, that they were putting the word out to rescue groups.
I had just about given up hope when some kind people from the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation came by and took me away to their wellness center, where I’ve lived ever since. I love playing with my people pals and going on walks with my pooch pawls. I’ve got these really tasty chew toys that I could chomp on all day long if they let me.
I have a secret to tell you. I don’t like having my picture taken. (My thick coat makes me look fat in pictures.) Whenever I hear a camera clicking, I run into my dog house and peek out the door until it’s safe to go back out. Paris Hilton and I would probably not be a good match.
I like it here a lot, but I really want a furever home with a special someone to share my kisses and hugs. I hope it’s you.
Thanks for sharing your story with us, Brownie! So how about it, people? Want to adopt this smooch pooch? Then contact the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation as soon as pawsible. If you mention my pawl TJ or i Love Dogs, you’ll get a FREE puppy starter kit!
Leroy is a 2-year-old “terribull” adopted from a Carson, Calif. shelter by i Love Dogs writer Laura Goldman. When he’s happy, Leroy snorts just like a pig. He really misses his gal pal Sophie, who passed to the Rainbow Bridge last November. But he adores his new pawl Ella and his chew toys (a little too much). Check out Leroy’s other articles!
