Story
I rescued her from shelter about 11 months ago and was working from home. Now I've been called back to office and she isn't adjusting well at all. She needs to be with a stay at home person, due to her separation anxiety. She is a very loving girl once she gets use to you and you become her person. She also needs to have a fenced yard as well. My heart is breaking to let her go.

Story
Ozzy is a very large, beautiful 2 1/2 YO who does not realize how big she is at times. She is a playful girl who needs room to run and burn off some of her energy. I have developed some serious health problems after I adopted this beautiful girl and am no longer able to give her the attention and exercise that she needs. Ozzy was a stray I rescued from a shelter last New Year's Eve. She is a very loving and affectionate girl who loves to cuddle and would love to be a lap dog if you let her. Ozzy was sent for 2-week Off-Leash K-9 Training in January 2025 and is e-collar trained. Ozzy listens well and understands commands without the e-collar being used. We have worked very hard on manners and Ozzy has learned to become non-reactive to other dogs, she will sit on command while other dogs pass by on a walk. She is a very good dog and is not a nuisance when in public. She is a very good companion, and it breaks my heart to have to rehome her, but she deserves more than I can give her now.

Story
I have 21 year-old Chihuahuas and a senior Chiweenie. I have to move back in with my parents so I need to rehome them. I am starting with Finnegan first. He is a very sweet boy who goes on pee pads while I’m at work and also goes outdoors loves to run around and play a lot. Very affectionate. It is a bit jealous of his Chihuahua, brother and fights for attention. They play really hard and have a lot of energy so an experience Chihuahua owner would be best. He loves his bones to chew on and loves to play with stuffy’s.Might be best in a home being the only dog. He is due for his shots in December and is not chipped. Would need to be neutered. I hate to give him up as he is a sweetheart, but I cannot bring them all back to my parents as my mom is allergic. Looking for a home where they could spend a lot of time being with him. Adoption fee is negotiable.

Story
Echo is a 2-year old Brittany who is a true puppy at heart.  He is a very loving boy who likes to cuddle and gets very silly when he is excited.  He is also very good on walks. Echo needs a home with very patient and dog-savvy people because he came from a rough situation.  He is still learning how to be on his best behavior, with his foster family working with him on potty and kennel training.  Echo appears to be afraid of the dark as he gets very anxious outside when the sun is down. He is fine inside at night and likes to sleep in his parents’ bedroom.  Echo needs a home that has someone at home most of the time due to his separation anxiety.  The ideal home would include a strong female presence as he is timid around males. Echo may need a little extra work but he is absolutely worth it, he is the sweetest boy and would make a great companion. Echo will need a home with a yard that has a 6 foot privacy fence so he can safety run zoomies and hang out in the sun.  He also needs an owner who can provide extra time and attention to his training and understands the exercise needs of a young Brittany and can take him on daily walks/runs.  Echo does great with other dogs and having a companion dog in the home is preferred as that presence would do a lot to make him feel comfortable.  Echo is also good with mature, dog-savvy children. Echo is neutered, current on his vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped.  His adoption fee is $400.00.  If you are interested in making Echo a member of your family, and have the time, energy, and love to give him, please visit www.nbran.org and complete the on-line adoption application form under the Adopt tab.  If interested, contact Patti at 801.641.4053 after completing an application.  A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process. Please realize that all our dogs are placed in the most appropriate home for their individual needs.  We do not operate on a first-come, first-serve basis.  December 21, 2025, 1:26 pm
