“We adopted the most amazing pup today and it didn’t end there—the staff/volunteers were over the top in kindness. Ever feel like you are in the most comfy place ever? Encouragement, knowledge, topped by kindness and sincerity. I highly recommend Brown Dog Coalition for saving hundreds of amazing pups, only measured by temperament, not looks or breed, etc. They will have your furever friend!!!”

—Faith C.

“Easily the best rescue I’ve worked with and adopted from. I am so thankful for the unbelievably committed Brown Dog Coalition team! Once you work with Brown Dog you will never want to adopt from any other rescue. Thank you, Naomi, Annie, and team, for being so incredible and kind hearted.”

—Lauren B.

“Brown Dog does an amazing job bringing great dogs to people who want to give them great homes. We’ve been fostering for them for about a year. Every dog we’ve had has been a pleasure and so fun to have them in our home.”

—Kevin C.

“This group of animal loving individuals are so thorough, caring and responsible with these rescued pups as they travel up from Alabama to Massachusetts! They stay with these pups through the adoption process and further! We couldn't be happier with their organization or the dogs that they care for—and we are so in love with our new rescue, so we are forever grateful, too!”

—Cathy F.

“Brown Dog Coalition is a wonderful rescue!! We got our little Bailey (FKA Peanut) from BDC and she is an absolute blessing. The process was well organized. Annie and Naomi were very helpful and kind :). Since we brought Bailey home, they've checked in with us a lot to make sure everything is going well. I highly recommend adopting from BDC! You won't be disappointed!”

—Elizabeth F.

“Brown Dog is quite simply the best team to be a part of, whether you’re an adopter, foster, volunteer or otherwise! They work tirelessly, are thoughtful and honest, and put their heart and soul into everything they do. There is never any hesitation in recommending them to responsible friends and family looking to adopt, foster or volunteer!”

—Lindsey Q.

“Excellent organization that truly works to find the right match. The adoption process is calm and stress free and unlike many other places, there is one dog reserved so you can relax and spend time with your potential dog. The volunteer trainer worked with our dog for hours before we came and truly got to know the dog and shared a lot with us. Feeling like we could have stayed all day if we wanted to made for a relaxed and stress free adoption for both us and the dog.”

—Jason R.

“BDC is a fantastic non-profit organization that truly cares about the well being of their dogs. The founders, Naomi and Andrea, emailed me back the same day I inquired about our dog Bernie and have followed up with us multiple times. The volunteers that helped out on adoption day were so kind and supportive. We are so happy with our pup...a wonderful experience!!”

—Karolyn C.

“The Brown Dog team was responsive, quick in processing our application and super helpful along the way! They brought to our lives the sweetest, silliest goofball of a pup, who stole our hearts the minute we met her. We've interacted with a few different BDC volunteers and they have all been wonderfully patient in answering our countless questions and very helpful in supplying helpful resources (training tips, food recommendations, etc.).”

—Magda G.

“I am a connection for Brown Dog Coalition to our Florence Alabama Shelter dogs. I cannot say enough about the generosity shown to medical needs of animals and the care that they take to adopt their animals to matching families. They have the true hearts of rescuers. They are 100% for our animals. Many of these precious animals would not be here if it wasn't for Brown Dog. I cherish this group.”

—Debby N.

“The team here is fantastic. They made the adoption process so easy and demonstrate a high level of caring and support even after the adoption. Frodo is my first rescue and next time I'm ready to get another I'll be looking at BDC for sure.”

—Sarah R.

“Now 6 months post our adoption of Sydney, we are so thankful for Brown Dog’s suggestive help matching her temperament with ours. Thanks again for our loving baby girl.”

—Diana and Paul C.

“I have adopted two dogs from Brown Dog Coalition and not only have they both been such loving fun additions to the family, but the process was just as comforting. Everybody is one big Brown Dog Coalition family.”

—John D.

“I’m a foster here in Alabama where the influx of abused, unloved, tormented animals is overwhelming. Brown Dog Coalition is one of very few ethical, loving groups we depend on.”

—Patti D J.

“Brown Dog Coalition is AMAZING. We've been fostering with them for over a year and they are so caring and thoughtful about their approach to dog rescue. It's an absolute pleasure and honor to volunteer for BDC.”

—Tara B.

“I adopted through BDC last February and it was a great experience! I'm obviously in love with my pup and the whole process was excellent. My vet even commented that he was impressed with their level of care and that they were very thorough with my pup's medical needs prior to coming home. BDC was recommended to me by a friend when I was looking for a pal and I'm happy to recommend them to others as well! Wonderful organization!”
