The Original Friends

These "Friends" have been with us since the start. All of Leroy's Friends have their AKC Canine Good Citizen certificates which means they have proven manners and are used in the community on a weekly basis with consumers. They hold a special place in Leroy's heart and deserve a little recognition. But Leroy is always looking for new "Friends"!

Benny is our newest friend. He was adopted from the Allen County Dog Warden in November of 2012 during a Friends of Leroy Brown open house. He is the lover of the group. Benny is happiest laying in someone lap being petted. He is a 4 year old Beagle who lives with Friends Benny and Pappi on a horse farm.

Athena is the biggest dog within the Friends, but she is the most gentle one. Our consumers have named her the "Gentle Giant." Athena loves to be brushed and loved on but mostly she enjoys rough housing with her brother Leroy.

Leroy is not in the normal rotation of dogs but will make special appearances throughout the year to nursing homes, picture days and open houses!

 

Miss Tipsy is known as "The Teacher". She knows her stuff! She was the first Friend to come on a regular basis paving the way for the program. Tipsy is a 7 year old Pit Bull that has been retired due to hip problems.
