Story
He was picked up on the side of the road last year and my parents kept him for a while. They ended up not being able to give him the attention he needed, so i took him in. I am finding that I am also unable to give him the attention he needs to thrive. He would do best in a high energy home where someone is home a decent bit to let him out to potty. He is very sweet.

Story
Meet Denver – Your Loyal, Big-Hearted Shadow Denver is a 7-year-old liver and white male Brittany with a gentle soul and an even bigger heart—he’s also a big boy at 64 lbs and working on losing about 15 more pounds to reach his ideal weight. This sweet, affectionate guy is the perfect blend of mellow maturity and loyal companionship. Denver is a true Velcro dog—he always wants to know where his humans and cats are, and he’ll be right by your side wherever you go. At night, he sleeps in bed with his foster mom, content just being close. He gets along beautifully with his foster dog sisters and the resident cats and is a respectful presence around the house. He’s not crate trained, but he doesn’t need to be—Denver is completely trustworthy when left alone. He won’t get into anything or cause trouble while you’re away. Foster mom says Denver needs to learn to be quiet when she leaves the house. He can be very vocal and unhappy when alone, but he eventually settles down. . He definitely lets you know he’s not a fan of being solo! Denver also has a spirited side when it comes to squirrels. If he spots one, watch out! He goes all-in on chasing them and can get a little vocal inside the house until the squirrel is out of sight. He loves car rides and is known to sneak into the front seat whenever he gets the chance—he just wants to be as close as possible to his humans! Despite his vocal moments, Denver has a playful side! He loves to play ball—just don’t expect him to bring it back! He prefers a game of chase and thinks it’s hilarious when you come after him. He also knows exactly where the toy basket is and won’t hesitate to empty it one toy at a time to find his favorite. Regular walks and a fenced yard to stretch his legs will help Denver stay healthy and happy as he works on his weight. After some outdoor fun, he’s more than ready to snuggle up for a good nap. Denver would thrive in a home that offers companionship, gentle structure, and lots of love. He’s already a pro at being a loyal, low-maintenance companion—you just need to meet him to see it. If you think Denver would be a great addition to your family, please reach out to Suzanne Horsley ztasuzanne@gmail.com or Deb Tuthill at agilitybrits@gmail.com NBRAN will transport adopted dogs up to 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for the last approximately 100 miles.  Fostered in Northern Kentucky Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped  July 1, 2025, 4:15 pm

Story
Bentley is a 4 ½ year old, male, Brittany who loves prowling the yard for critters and curling up on his foster Mom’s lap.  He loves to play tug and wrestle with his foster family’s dog and chew on bones.  He knows sit, stay, down, shake, but is still working on not jumping on people and licking (kissing) them.  His previous owner sent him to training and is supposed to be a good hunter for pheasants.  With the way he is in his fosters yard, he sure seems like he would be.  He is e-collar trained and has excellent recall.  Bentley loves cuddling with people, especially on the couch and bed.  He is a good rider in the car, pontoon boat and UTV.  He is very well trained and would be an asset to any family.  He has very soft nails which split very easily and will need special care when taking care of his nails.  The foster can go over the details. HI, I’m Bentley. I am very loving and easy going, and would love to be your companion!  My foster Mom calls me her curious George.  I always have to stick my head in any grocery bags to see what might be in there.  If she sits down, I am always on her lap and I can’t avoid giving her many kisses.  In fact, most of the time she needs to tell me that is enough.  My foster parents let me sleep in bed with them.  I love to chase balls, I sometimes don’t like to bring them back, but I will drop them so you can throw it again. I’ll admit... leash walking is not my strength, but hey, nobody’s perfect.  I am a very smart and loving boy. Bentley will need daily exercise with his new family as well as lots of love and attention. Bentley would be most happy in a home that has somebody with him most of the time as he is very attached to his humans and doesn’t like it when he is not with you.  Because he is used to being with his playmate (Maverick who is also up for adoption), he would do best if he were adopted into a home with another dog to play with.  Bentley loves to play with other dogs. He does not get kenneled when the fosters leave and there have been no problems as long as all blankets are put away.  He’s been checked from nose to tail and is up to date on all his vaccines, micro-chipped, neutered, heartworm negative and on preventative meds.  Now all that’s missing is his Furever Home! The adoption fee for MN/Bentley, who is currently being fostered in WI is $400,  which helps to offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.  If you are interested in making MN/Bentley part of your family, please complete the online application by visiting www.nbran.org .  Contact the Hallie Barbara, the MN and WI State Coordinator at minnesotabrittany@gmail.com and then let your state coordinator know so we can get the ball rolling.  A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process by your state coordinator, before talking to the foster of Bentley.  Transportation can be arranged up  to 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.July 7, 2025, 8:08 pm

Story
**Courtesy Post** **Dixie is not a Russell Rescue dog. Please contact her owner at nfont52483@gmail.com for more information.** Here is Dixie! She is a typical little female Jack Russell Terrier. She just wants to have fun. Her owner needs to be home a large part of the day. She is only 8 months old and cannot be alone that long. Dixie needs attention and training and a lot of interaction. We will choose an energetic and JRT savvy owner to adopt her. We are pretty sure that she is not going to get along with other female dogs but will be fine with male dogs. She requires a home with no cats or farm animals or little critters, such as hamsters or parakeets. She requires a home with no children younger than 14 years of age. Dixie needs a securely fenced yard. No short chain-link, no wrought iron unless it is tall and screened and no electronic fencing. Her new owner must also have a good vet reference. There is a small rehoming fee for her. If you are interested, please fill out the online adoption application at www.RussellRescue.com Her new owner must be able to drive to the Sulphur, Louisiana area to get her.
