The world is not terrifying
People are actually pretty great
Walks are fun, especially when you’re glued to your human like a fuzzy fridge magnet

Can't adopt Brinkley? You can still help.
Although we charge a small adoption fee, this doesn't generally cover the costs of us getting our dogs ready for adoption. Desexing, grooms, vet care, vaccinations, registration, training and variety of other things can go into these dogs. If you'd like to help either on a one off or regular basis we would be grateful for your donation.
