Need A Brandy?
Horst Hoefinger

I received this very disturbing message yesterday about a dog in need.  I’m  hoping by posting it someone out there will need a Brandy.

She is a 14 -year- old lab mix  that has been a loving companion for many years, in return her owner has now stuck in a cold garage to live out her “golden” years.

Brandy is located in Norristown,  PA  near the Philadelphia area.  Robin, a PAWS volunteer, is trying to help re-home Brandy. She can be contacted at robin2607@gmail.com or send me a message for her phone number.

Senior girl Brandy needs a new home: Brandy is the “victim” of a re-marriage of her owner. The new spouse doesn’t like dogs, so Brandy has been living in the garage as her owner did not want to abandon her. However, with winter approaching this cannot be a long term solution for Brandy.

Brandy is a 14 year old lab mix that deserves to live out her golden years in comfort, warmth and close to her people. The garage is left cracked a few inches at the bottom and her owner comes over to give the dog food and water, and to let it out in the yard every few days. Other than this Brandy is alone in the garage.

Brandy is good with people and kids, we are not sure about cats. This post is created with Brandy’s owner’s knowledge and he is grateful for the effort, so setting up a meeting shouldn’t be a problem.

Brandy is spayed, but needs to be updated on her shots.

Please consider adopting this special girl, she would make a wonderful new addition.

This story goes into the “what is wrong with people?” category.  I really don’t understand how anyone could do this to their loving companion.  I wonder if grandma has also become a nuisance and is out in the garage with Brandy?

Please, anyone looking for another family member give Brandy some consideration.  One of the upsides of adopting a senior is they don’t need that much exercise, just a lot of love.

    Looks like someone shouldnt have gotten married if they dont like the dog. I hate hearing stories like this. It really gets my blood boiling. This dog Im assuming had a good home but now he has to go just because the new spouse doesnt like dogs? What if you had kids and they didnt like kids would you ship your kid off to boot camp of something? or keep them in the garage? I would hope not.

    Disgusting is all I can say. How do you do that to a member of your family. How many years has she had this dog? Common sense tells me this new marriage will not last half as long. I guess I’m insane because I would not even consider marrying someone who would take away from me someone I loved as dearly as my dogs.

    I wonder if there is a vacant garage near by? Maybe if the other half gets a taste of his own medicine there would be a change of minds.There is no loyalty here. How can you care and love something for years and do this. New spouse hit the road or whoops garage

    As my mom used to say of me…Love me, love my dog…
    I absolutely would not marry a person who wouldn’t accept my pets… To me that shows that the person him/herself has no sense of loyalty or duty to another being. what happens if the guy has a stroke? What happens if he contracts a terrible illness? Out to the garage? Or the “home”?

    There are a number of no-kill shelters on the Main Line and environs in Pennsylvania. Perhaps Brandy would be more comfortable in one of them and stand a better chance of finding a new home where she is loved.

  6. Chloe

    This is so sad. I would never give up my babies for anyone. If he really loved her wouldn’t he love all of her. She’s insane for doing this. This was a mutual decisionand that is even worse, she is no better then him.

    SO IF YOU ARE A DOG LOVER WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?, JUST BECAUSE THE WIFE DOESNT LIKE THEM, IT DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO TAKE HER TO THE GARAGE, COME ON!! SHE HAS 14 YEARS OLD!! HOW IN THIS EARTH YOU CAN DO THIS? I HOPE, HONESTLY THAT YOUR WIFE LOVE YOU FOREVER OTHERWISE THIS ACTION WILL HUNT YOU FOREVER!!!
