Brie’s Story

Miss Brie arrived in New England with her cheesy siblings, Mozza, Cheddar, Gouda, and Swiss, ready for her next chapter. Unfortunately, her first placement wasn’t quite the right fit. It was a house full of boys, and for a sophisticated little lady like Brie, it quickly became clear that she needed a different kind of home.

The Second Wind team stepped in and made sure Brie was safe and cared for, moving her into an emergency foster placement with one of our own dedicated volunteers. What was meant to be a temporary stay turned into a weekend full of cuddles, connection, and a growing realization that Brie might have already found exactly where she belonged.

Soon, Brie was back up for adoption and a new home was found. She was on her way to South Boston to begin life with a new family of millennials. But sometimes the plans we make aren’t always the plans meant to happen. That adoption fell through at the 11th hour, opening the door for something even better.

The volunteer who had been fostering Brie, had always hoped to adopt a dog of her own. In fact, she had a list of potential dog names saved on her phone…and the name “Brie” was already on it.

By the very next morning, what started as a foster arrangement officially became a foster fail. Brie had found her forever home, and our volunteer, had found her forever companion.

Sometimes animals and their people have a way of finding each other. The timing, the circumstances, and the connection all come together in a way that feels like it was meant to be. And in Brie’s case, it truly was meant to “Brie.”
