Brienne is fawn colored, and her feet, muzzle, and chest are white.

Brienne is a small, doe-eyed darling. She may have seen some hard times in her former life (some of her left ear is missing), but she’s ready to put that behind her. Brienne is very affectionate but not overly needy. Although she is very shy, she is very good with meeting both adults and children. She just needs some time to get to know you before she feels comfortable. Brienne has done well with every dog she has met so far. She is a remarkably easy dog to take care of. For example, she hardly sheds at all, is an excellent leash walker, and does well in a crate. Additionally, she is very quiet, and I still don’t know what her bark sounds like!

Brienne can be startled by loud or sudden noises, or other surprises. Her adopter would want to be careful to make sure she doesn't escape when opening exterior doors, so adding baby gates would be a good idea--and she should always be leashed before going outside.

Brienne would make a great addition to just about any type of home. So if you have a busy life and have to be out for a few hours, never fear. She is very forgiving and will greet you with an ample supply of unconditional love upon your return! Brienne is ready to bond with a new family!
