Story
I’m looking for a very specific home for my dog, Titan—a 4-year-old boxer/bullmastiff mix (about 65 lbs). Titan is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and forms strong bonds with his person. Once he trusts you, he is calm, loving, and wants to stay close. He does best in a structured environment with clear boundaries and consistency. He is not a dog for everyone. Titan is wary of strangers and needs slow, controlled introductions to new people. He is most comfortable in a low-traffic home without frequent visitors. There was a past incident where he bit a family member’s hand during a high-stress situation when multiple people were around him and he was being handled near his face. The injury required medical attention but was not severe, and there has not been a pattern of repeated incidents. With proper structure and awareness of his boundaries, he has been manageable and stable. Titan would do best in:
• An adult-only home (no children)
• A low-traffic environment
• Someone experience

Story
Winston is a beautiful energetic Bernese Mountain dog. He was born on Christmas 2022. He’s 110lbs of joy and is in need of a home with a big yard so he can roam and run free. He is very energetic and can’t ever get or give enough love. He is not a violent animal but does become very excitable in the presence of other dogs. He will need a to be with a person who can train a large breed. His current owner is working extra long shifts so he is home alone too much and not getting the attention he deserves.

Story
Hi Brittany Lovers! My name is Hank and I am approximately 18 months old. When I got to NBRAN, I visited the vet and got all my vaccines and I was neutered. I am heartworm negative and I take my monthly heartworm preventatives like a good boy!  I am a very handsome male French Brittany, if I do say so myself. Actually, everyone that meets me says I am very handsome! At 30 lbs., I am a little guy.  I can be very shy, but I can also be very loving. One thing for sure, I don’t like you touching my feet!  Because, I had lived my life in a kennel with a concrete floor, I did not play or walk in the grass much.  That makes going to the potty on the grass confusing for me.  I was only allowed to relieve myself on the concrete.  I am very smart, but sometimes habits can be hard to break, and house training has not been easy for me.  I would love a home with a housetrained doggie friend that would help me learn the ropes, but I am proud to say that I have done so well on my housetraining, I might not need another dog to show me the ropes.  I have never been around cats, but I don’t think I would like them very much! My foster family loves me but wants me to have a family of my very own.  I am still fixated with rolling in things that don’t smell so good, but my foster mom has worked with me, and I am getting lots better.  I need a home with a fenced backyard to run in, and a doggie door would help me with housetraining, although it is not a “must have.” I am a Houdini in my collar and harness and have been known to try to get out of them (successfully) and explore. Do you think you would like me to come be part of your family? If you have patience and a loving home where I can have fenced yard, I would love to come live with you! My adoption fee is $400 to help offset the expenses associated with getting me ( and other fabulous rescued Brittanys) in great condition for a fabulous new home.  You don't have to live in Tennessee, NBRAN will transport me up to 1400 miles to my furever home. Please contact Suzanne Horsley ztasuzanne@gmail.com or Debbie Tuthill agilitybrits@gmail.com  to find out more about me!

Story
Are you looking for your new best friend and adventure partner, whether it is exploring nature or riding shotgun in your vehicle?  Darling Dolly is a beautiful, smart independent 8-year-old, 54 lb, orange and white spayed female who is full of life.  She loves attention and lovin. In addition, Dolly loves outdoor adventures and enjoys scanning the woods for birds and other critters. This sweet girl definitely has a high prey drive and is also very food motivated.  Her adopter needs to understand that she gives harmless love nips as a sign of affection. Dolly is very eager to please her humans, but only homes with older considerate children will be considered. To keep this precious girl emotionally stimulated, she would enjoy puzzles and other enrichment activities. Would you like to participate in agility or barn hunts with your Brittany? Well....Dolly is your gal!  Due to her keen sense pf smell, Dolly enjoys scent games in the house and in the backyard. In true Brittany fashion, Dolly has been known to pull on a leash. with that being said, she could use some additional leash training. A fenced yard is required for Dolly. She loves to run for the fun of it. Sweet Dolly is housetrained and even though she is crate trained, she is trusted alone in the house; however, she is a well accomplished counter surfer, she has even been known to slide open a few doors.  At her previous foster home, she wore and responded to an e collar for recall. Her nose simply gets the best of her, so at times, without the e collar Dolly experiences selective hearing. Even though Dolly can be very active and instinctive, she gives lots of love and affection. She has been well loved and will be a fabulous dog for the right home. Dolly is heartworm negative, spayed and up to date on all vaccines, in addition to being microchipped. She also receives monthly heartworm preventative. Below is Dolly's furever home wishlist: A home full of love with lots of hugs and snuggles An active home  A fenced back yard An easygoing doggie fursibling - NO CATS Dolly would also excel at the following  Agility Scent activities Dolly's adoption fee is $350 to offset vetting costs. She is currently located in North Georgia, but can be transported up to 1400 miles to an approved adopter. (with the adopter being responsible for the last up to 100 miles).

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact PittieLove Rescue, Inc. (info@pittieloverescue.org) for more information about this pet. PittieLove Rescue, Inc. a 501c3 orgainization is an all-volunteer, foster home based rescue. Adoption Fee: $500 Our information is current if you are interested in adopting please read our  Adoption Policies before filling out an Adoption Application. https://www.pittieloverescue.org It is the easiest way to start the communication and adoption process. Introducing Giuseppe again (formally known as Screech)— a sweet little guy who has returned to the rescue after his first placement wasn’t the right fit. He’s now hoping for a calm, loving forever home where he can feel safe, settled, and adored. He is a French bulldog mix who may also have a little English bulldog in his family tree. He’s a sensitive, affectionate boy who is still learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. He loves toys, balls, and treats, and while he’s okay with other dogs, he would do best as the only dog in the home, so he doesn’t have to share his favorite things. He’s comfortable with people taking away toys or treats and tends to win hearts quickly with his sweet nature. Giuseppe is a champion sleeper and snoozes through the night like a pro. He’s a low-key pup who enjoys a cozy couch, a sunny spot, and a few tasty treats. When he does get a burst of energy, a bone or food puzzle toy is a great way to keep him entertained. He is often startled by machines or cleaning products, so a calm and safe space is best when those are in use. He’s also a bit adventurous and has no fear when it comes to couches or stairs, so ramps or soft pet stairs are recommended to help keep him safe. Giuseppe is vocal when he wants attention or feels left out, so he may do best in a calmer home. His ideal home would be peaceful, predictable, and full of love — plus plenty of treats, because treats are truly the way to his heart. He has done well with the kids he’s met, though he may be a little too interested in their toys, so a childfree home would be the best match for him.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.www.pittieloverescue.org Please consider a donation so that we may continue the important work we do.
