Meet Brewer

Brewer is a 9 year old male Lab/Boxer mix who weighs in at approximately 80 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $250. Check out the 2 pictures of him when he was younger - so fun! If you are still interested, please read more below. Brewer is a previous ARF dog who is losing his home due to his owner moving to a place that does not allow dogs. His family says he is a great dog who loves to nap in his bed or on the couch. Brewer is particular about which dogs he likes and prefers to be the only animal in the home. Brewer is a smart guy and knows commands like “sit”, “stay”, “down”, and “place”. He is housetrained, crate trained and has free roam of his home when the humans are away. Brewer is great at a game of catch and currently enjoys 1-2 short walks a day. This big distinguished older boy is a sweety and will be so appreciative of a new place to call home! Brewer is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and neutered. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.
