The Family Pet
When Brenda came to Two by Two, she was missing so much of her fur that we honestly did not know the breed. Low and behold, with the help of a little medication and a lot of love, this brindle beauty emerged and wasted no time in stealing our hearts. If you are looking for a dog to take out on the water, then Brenda is the girl for you.
Brenda loves all things water, whether it be the lake, river or backyard swimming pool. Her foster dad loves taking her on long walks and to play with other dogs at the dog park. She does extremely well on the leash and has gotten along with every dog that’s crossed her path. Since she knows she is such a pretty girl, she basks in all the attention her stripes receive and will gladly collect as many adoring fans as she can—especially if they have treats.
Two by Two is a faith based, no kill rescue whose mission is to give life to abandoned, abused, stray and distressed animals. Saving animal lives for more than 20 years, Two by Two operates out of Helena, Ala., and has coordinated the rescue and adoption of cats, dogs, horses and even a few pot-bellied pigs. Two by Two has adopted out dogs across the United States and even a few abroad! To learn more about Two by Two visit www.twobytworescue.com.
