Story

**Courtesy Post** Greta is not a Russell Rescue dog. Russell Rescue is only assisting with placement/networking. All inquiries should be directed to Greta’s owner at kimhover0209@gmail.com Greta!!!!! Can you say perfect little rough coat? She is so adorable with that heavy rough coat, but she did have a groomer smooth her up a little recently. And, as you know JRTs’ coats don’t need much, just a good brushing every few days! Greta is 6 years old and about as wonderful as a JRT can come. Happy, friendly, healthy, frisky, playful, loving,and very smart. Greta needs an energetic owner. She loves to play in the yard and take walks. She will also get rid of any varmints in the yard that are troubling you. She has wonderful manners and can be left alone in the house for numerous hours, but she would love more interaction than that. She wants attention, stimulation, and playtime. Greta has to have a securely fenced yard. No electronic fencing, no wrought iron unless it is screened, and no short chain-link because she may be able to jump over it. Greta will probably be ok with a male dog, but absolutely no females. Greta requires a home with no young children and no little critters such as hamsters or parakeets because she is, after all, a Jack Russell. In order to adopt her, you must fill out the online adoption application at www.RussellRescue.com and have a good vet reference. Greta is not a Russell Rescue dog. Russell Rescue is only assisting with placement/networking. All inquiries should be directed to Greta’s owner at kimhover0209@gmail.com Her owner is asking a small rehoming fee. Whoever adopts her will need to be able to drive to the Lafayette, Louisiana area to get her.

Story

WARNING: Extremely Adorable Brittany Boy Ahead Hiyaaaaa! My name is Jack Flash Yes… I know… cool name, right? Sounds fast and exciting. And while I can still zoom around when necessary, these days I mostly specialize in professional cuddling, snack supervision, and being ridiculously handsome. I’m an 8.9-year-old, 48 lb orange & white Brittany gentleman with soft ears, sweet eyes, and a heart that’s basically made of marshmallows. I’m neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative, tick negative, and fully trained in the very important art of stealing hearts. Things I love include: Treats Playing âï¸ Yard patrol ï¸ Hanging out with my humans Belly rubs (please and thank you) Other dogs Following you around like your fuzzy little assistant Now listen… don’t let the “senior” thing fool you. I still have pep in my step and plenty of love to give. The nice thing about us mature boys? We already know life is about love, naps, snacks, and being your very best buddy. I do need a physical fenced yard because a gentleman needs a proper place to sniff, explore, and keep watch for suspicious squirrels. It’s important work. Honestly, I’m just looking for a family to adore me forever… and maybe share a few snacks. I promise to repay you with loyalty, laughs, cuddles, and the occasional goofy Brittany smile. So… what do you think? Ready to let this adorable orange-and-white nugget become your new best friend? The adoption fee for OK/Jack Flash, who lives in Tulsa, OK is $350, (which helps to offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members. If you are interested in making OK/Jack Flash 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/Jack Flash-Melinde Waddle @ macgammy@gmail.com Once approved by your state coordinator, I will setup talking to the foster of Jack Flash. Transportation can be arranged up to 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.July 10, 2026, 12:41 pm

Story

Meet Your New Best Friend! Jayce is a 3-year-old Brittnay Mix who is looking for his forever home. While he might be a little shy when you first meet him, give him a moment to come out of his shell, and you'll find a funny, bouncy, and deeply loving companion. Jayce is a "paws-on" kind of dog! He is famous for his hugs and will spend his time trying to wrap his paws around you if he isn't already trying to curl up in your lap. He is the perfect blend of a lounge partner and a playmate. Because of his cautious temperament, Jayce has some specific needs to help him feel safe and successful: No Other Dogs: He prefers being the "only child" and can be reactive toward strange dogs. Quiet Environment: He would not enjoy the high-stress environment of a dog park. Patient Humans: He needs an owner who understands he needs to approach new things at his own pace. No Strangers (at first): He can be vocal with people he doesn't know, but his loyalty to his inner circle is unmatched. If you have the patience to let him blossom, you will be rewarded with a level of love and loyalty that only a dog like Jayce can give. He is ready to be your most devoted friend. Jayce's adoption fee is $325 to offset the cost of vetting and help other rescues in need. He is currently located in Georgia and can be transported up to 1400 miles via our Canine Railroad. For more information, please contact NBRAN Virginia coordinator Leslie Trentaâ . leslie@leslietrentadesigns.com July 10, 2026, 12:41 pm

Hi there… I’m Gabby Sue Please help me find my forever home.... I need my forever. A 55 lb spayed liver/white/roan Brittany/GSP/Mix girl with a whole lot of love to give I’m what you’d call the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. I’ll have my little bursts of energy (because, well… zoomies are important ), and then I’m right back by your side, ready to snuggle up and be your couch buddy. Honestly… I’d be perfectly happy being your full-time cuddle companion. I really love my people… like, “I’d rather be right under you than pose for pictures” kind of love Because I love so big, I’d do best as your one and only pup—so I can soak up all the attention and give it right back to you tenfold. I’ll also need a physical fenced yard so I can safely enjoy my outdoor time and little bursts of fun. My story almost didn’t have a happy ending… I was scheduled for euthanasia, my babies were taken away, and I was so scared and crying But kind people stepped in just in time—and now I’m safe, loved, and ready for my real forever home. I’m healthy, heartworm & tick negative, and on prevention—just waiting for someone to choose me. All I want is a home full of love… and someone to call mine The adoption fee for OK/Gabby Sue, who lives in Tulsa, OK is $325, (which helps to offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.

Story

‼️Has a dog on dog bite history and needs to go somewhere that will be okay with that‼️Qui’ne, born on July 20th, 2023, is a sweet girl who was unfortunately attacked by a dog 2 years ago. Due to that, she is dog reactive and urgently needs a new home or she will be put down. She is great with humans, loves cuddling, active, and great with cats, but can be a little over excited. She is timid with new people and will come to you VERY well trained. The list of tricks she knows is very long and all this information will be given to her adopter. I am willing to travel about 2 hours or so to drop her off and she comes with all of her stuff. She will come with lots of stuff because she has been my sweet baby for 2 years. I do not want to rehome her, this is being forced so this is really hard to do. I would love to stay in contact with her new adopter.
