Story
Charlie is a beautiful 16-month-old English cream Golden Retriever with a sweet, affectionate personality. She loves people of all ages and will soak up all the attention you can give. She’s still very much a puppy; playful and energetic. She would thrive with a family that has the time to continue her training and give her plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. She learns quickly and would benefit from consistency and routine. She is house-trained when kept on a regular potty schedule, but because our family is away from home for long stretches, she’s had accidents when she hasn’t been able to get outside in time. She would do best in a home where someone is around more often. She gets along well with other dogs, but not cats. she’s a wonderful, loving dog, but we’ve realized that our busy schedules don’t allow us to give her the time, training, and attention she deserves. Charlie is a loyal companion and would be a great addition to any family.

Story
Sweet Abby is sugar, spice, and everything nice. A perfect recipe of pure preciousness, she is a 5 year (DOB 3/30/2021-exact) orange and white female spayed purebred Brittany. Abby is up to date on all vaccines and a bonafide lovebug. Even though Abby needs a little weight loss, 65 lbs. is not her ideal weight, she is still remarkably close to perfection. Other than some excess weight, Abby is healthy. Abby is calm, eager to please, and extremely affectionate. She had been with her owners since she was a puppy, but unfortunately, one of the owners was having health issues and it was discovered she was allergic to dogs. Abby is housetrained, crate trained and has great house manners. She is very laid back and friendly to adults, as well as children. Abby loves to take rides in the car and will be your best friend. She is not extremely active and has a submissive personality. She is good with both dogs and cats. Because Abby is extremely food motivated, she will need help on her weight loss journey. According to Abby’s foster dad, she is a perfect candidate for an invisible fence. She pulls a little when walking on a leash, but nothing extreme. She enjoys walks with her foster dad and foster fur sibling multiple times a week. As a matter of fact, she has lost some weight over the brief time she has been at her foster home. With food portion management and regular exercise, Abby will be at an ideal weight in no time. Are you looking for a wonderful adult Brittany to join your family? Abby is your gal! Abby’s adoption fee is $350, and she is being fostered in middle north Tennessee. Just a reminder that NBRAN will transport adopted dogs to their approved homes up to 1400 miles, with the adopter being responsible for the last approximately 100 miles. If you are interested in adopting Abby, please contact Suzanne Horsley ztasuzanne@gmail.com  OR Debbie Tuthill agilitybrits@gmail.comJuly 23, 2026, 8:32 am

Story
Meet Gus, a handsome 7-year-old male purebred brittany, who is looking for his forever home. Gus was a stray dog who found himself in a shelter. He was heartworm positive, but has completed treatment. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccinations. Gus has a heart full of love and is always ready to share his joyful spirit with everyone he meets. His most favorite activity is going on walks and he loves to greet every person and dog that he sees. He is still working on some leash manners, but is very smart and seems to understand commands such as stay, wait and drop it. He also loves to spend time outside in the backyard hunting critters. He is looking for a home with a fenced yard as well as another dog for a companion. He enjoys playing with toys and has a knack for making people smile with his cheerful demeanor. Gus is a velcro boy and loves to be close to his humans.  He does well with other dogs and kids, but not cats.  He would prefer an active home with someone who can be home most of the time. He is crate trained, but will bark for the first 5-10 minutes before quieting down.  He is housebroken and rides well in a car. He is also a good patient at the vet.  Gus is eager to find a forever family who will cherish his companionship and give him the love he so readily gives.  Gus is located in eastern NC and can be transported up to 1400 miles away, with the adopter driving the last 100 miles.  His adoption fee is $350 to help offset some medical expenses.  Please submit an adoption application at www.nbran.org and mention his name.

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.
