Story
Hello! My name is Lauri and I am a mature lady who is looking for my fur-ever family to love. I am about 12 years old, spayed, and the doggy doctor says I am a healthy girl with all my vaccines up to date. I get along with other low energy easy going dogs, and love to spend time with people I trust. Do you like to watch tv on the couch? I'm your girl! Do you like to sit out on the deck and listen to the birds chirp? Count me in! Do you like to go for short walks and enjoy the crisp fall air? Me too! I love to snuggle on my foster dad's lap and I'm a sweet mature lady who lives with two other dogs who allowed me to settle in before trying to be best friends. Now, you can find me snuggling in the same dog bed next to my foster brother by the heat vent snoozing in the sunshine. I would love a home in which my humans were home often, and the family environment is low energy, without small children as they can move very quickly and that overwhelms me. I'm learning to do my business outside as I am used to going on to the bathroom on pee pads inside the house. My biggest hope is to find a family who is kind, gentle, home often, loves to snuggle, a home environment that is calm and quiet, and if there are other fur-pets in the home that they will give me my space at first to adjust. If you think that I might be the perfect addition to your family, please visit www.nbsar.org to fill out an adoption application.

Story
Abby is a beautiful and loving senior girl looking for her forever home. She is the best at snuggling, always happy to be next to her person or sleeping peacefully somewhere nearby where she can curl up for a nap. She loves car rides, short walks as she has a little bit of arthritis in her hip, however, it does not stop her from doing stairs or exploring the backyard only to run back in for a treat. Abby is a smart girl who picks up the routines of the house quickly and is pee pad trained. She gets along with other dogs after a proper introduction, but would also love to be the only dog and soak up all the cuddles. Abby would do best in a quiet home where napping can be the priority with comfy blankets and her favorite person nearby. If you are ready for a sweet senior with a lot of love and snuggles to share, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application.

Story
I got Winnie two years ago and I have loved every day spent with her. She is an amazing dog very good and gentle with kids,loves other dogs and we take her to the dog park a lot. She is well trained and we go on walks with her unleashed as well since she is very friendly. The reason we are placing her for adoption is because we have 3 kids at home one of which is allergic to dogs and giving winnie the same attention has become hard so we are hoping that she finds a loving family for her. She loved to cuddle and play even though she is now 2 still has that same puppy energy. She is also potty trained. If you love bigger dogs and endless cuddles she is the best dog!!!! We will always miss and love Winnie which is why we want the best for her❤️

Story
Hamburger aka Hammy he is a sweet boy loves to play cuddle and play fetch even though he loves to run away when you get the ball from him. He like to play chase he’s chasing you or you chasing him. He’s a lover boy he’ll flop on the floor wanting belly rubs. Not a mean bone in his body. Actually he’s kind of timid and waits for permission to rub against you to just be near you. So to my mom’s recent cancer diagnosis I’m unable to give him the attention he deserves. If you think he will be a good match please inquire. He’s ready for his new forever home.

Ricky has been part of our family for almost 4 years now. He is a great dog and we love him very much. Unfortunately, we are relocating overseas for work and we won’t be able to bring him. We want to find him a loving home where he will be cared for and loved unconditionally.
