Writing the next chapter of Brixie's story
Brixie began her career as a candidate in 2016 but was found to have an underlying medical issue that kept her from completing our training program. Though we thought she might enjoy working as a service dog, Brixie made it clear she preferred to be a pet. We found her a loving home where she could play, run, and cuddle every day with her new family, volunteer Linda Munday and her husband, Dan. Now, Brixie gets to spend her days running around with their grandkids and loving life.
“I just knew she would be a great addition to our family,” says Linda. “We can’t imagine our lives without her.”
The transition from working dog to pet can be tricky to navigate due to the high energy and high drive required of dogs entering our program, but our training team ensures every dog is ready for their new home.
We are so grateful to all our Lifetime Care families for opening their hearts and homes to dogs like Brixie who weren’t meant to be search dogs, but were meant to be something great!
