Unfortunately, she was returned because her owner had to move to Germany and couldn't take her along. Despite the difficulty of the decision, Brooke's owner had to part ways with her beloved companion. Brooke loves to sunbathe and take long naps but loves walks and running in a creek or any type of water! She is great with kids and babies and will lay down next to them wanting all the pets or ear pulls or completely ignore them if told to. She is an old soul but still gets the zoomies. She loves treats and is a foodie. She had been known to steal a single cupcake out of a pan left on the counter to cool as she has a soft gentle mouth. Sneaky little girl! Peanut butter bones are a favorite for when she has to be in her crate. She has never met a stuffed toy she cannot tear apart in a hot minute but will not take any of the kids toys to chew. She will act like she is hard of hearing if she doesn't want to go in her crate, but she is just being stubborn and holding out for a treat. If you rattle a glass lid, she comes running! Brooke loves naps on a couch and is a total bed hog if aloud. She will nudge you right to a corner and take over the whole bed lol. Brooke is the sweetest, friendliest companion and she is looking for her furever home. We promise you won't be disappointed when you meet her HT ADOPTION INCLUSIONS: Spay/Neuter First 3 distemper series vaccines & de-wormings Microchip - lifetime with no registration fees Current on heartworm preventative Current on flea/tick preventative EXCLUSIVE ADOPTER BENEFITS: Free first exam with: Caring Hands Animal Hospital, Palisades Veterinary Clinic, Jermantown Animal Hospital and Clarendon Animal Care and all VCA Animal Hospitals (VCA offers $250 coverage - details provided) Free online workshop with a professional dog trainer at Fur-Get Me Not within the first 30 days of adopting (in DC/Arlington/Alexandria only) A portion of EVERY ADOOPTION fee supports spay/neuter for animals in under-resourced communities BE A FOSTER: Save a life: http://www.homewardtrails.org/foster-a-pet/dog-and-cat-foster-program.
