Story
Our sweet Eeyore. Eeyore is a sweet and gentle guy who is about 6-8 years old. Eeyore weighs about 50lbs. This guy has been in rescue since August of 2023. Eeyore was also in shelter from January 2023-August 2023. Needless to say this boy deserves a home. Eeyore is gentle natured, loves a good comfy couch, and typically sleeps most the day though he loves to play. Eeyore has some mild resource guarding with food and toys but trades his precious items for treats easily. Eeyore has lived in a doggie daycare throughout his time in rescue and though he is very loved and spoiled he still deserves a family to call his own. He is well loved at the daycare facility and enjoys his time with every employee. If you would like to meet Eeyore and let him fill your life with his goody charm.

Story
Paprika is a 7-year-old, 15lb Chihuahua mix with a one-of-a-kind personality. He’s heartworm positive, but don’t let that scare you—we’ve got tips and support to help you through it. Paprika isn’t an instant best friend; he can nip when scared and needs a few days to feel safe. But once you’ve earned his trust, he’ll be your loyal little gremlin sidekick. He does well with other dogs his size and would do best with older, respectful kids.

Story
He may be named after an action hero, but this 12-year-old Chihuahua is all about love, cuddles, and good vibes. Rambo is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and an absolute sweetheart. Rambo was surrendered to the shelter with his sister Bella after their owner passed away. They’ve both adjusted beautifully and are thriving in our care—now they’re just patiently waiting for their next happily-ever-after. Rambo gets along great with other dogs, and while he and Bella are friendly with each other, they are not bonded and do not need to be adopted together. If you’re looking for a gentle senior with a big heart and a tiny body, Rambo is ready to steal yours.

Story
Meet Duke Riley — Your New Best Friend Is Waiting If you’ve been wishing for a dog who can play hard, love big, and cuddle even bigger, Duke Riley just might be the boy you’ve been waiting for. ❤️ Duke is a handsome 5-year-old, 58-lb boy with a wonderful combination of playful energy and a tender, affectionate heart. He’s past those crazy puppy days, but don’t tell Duke that—this guy still knows how to have FUN! Balls? Absolutely! Water? Yes, please! Toys? Bring them on! Fetch? Duke is ready whenever you are! ❤️ Cuddles? Now you’re speaking his language. Duke loves being part of whatever his people are doing. Give him a ball and he’s ready for an adventure; give him a comfy spot beside you and he’s just as happy settling in for some quality snuggle time. And this handsome boy comes with some pretty impressive manners, too! Duke is housebroken and crate trained, knows his name, and already knows sit and shake. He’s eager to please, loves interacting with his people, and there’s something especially sweet about a big boy offering you his paw. Duke is up to date on his vaccines, heartworm negative, and on heartworm prevention. But the best thing about Duke isn't something you can put on a medical record or a checklist. It's his heart. Duke is one of those dogs who wants to share his life with someone. He wants a person to throw his ball, watch him splash in the water, laugh at his silly moments, and then welcome him close when the playing is done. At five years old, Duke isn't looking for just another stop along the way. He's ready for his person. His family. His forever. Imagine coming home to that happy face. Weekend games of fetch. Summer days playing in the water. A big furry head resting beside you at night because Duke has decided there is nowhere he'd rather be. He already knows how to be a good boy. Now he just needs someone to show him what it feels like to be somebody's forever boy. ❤️ Duke Riley has the love to give, all that's missing is YOU.  The adoption fee for OK/Duke Riley, who lives in Tulsa, OK area  is $275, (which helps to offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.  If you are interested in making OK/Duke Riley part of your family, please complete the online application by visiting www.nbran.org .  Please let your state coordinator know so we can get the ball rolling.  Also, please email the state coordinator of OK/Duke Riley-Melinde Waddle @ macgammy@gmail.com  Once approved by your state coordinator, I will be happy to  talk to you about Duke Riley.
