Story
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.  If you are interested in making OK/Gabby Sue 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/Gabby Sue-Melinde Waddle @ macgammy@gmail.com  Once approved by your state coordinator, I will be able to talk to you on Gabby Sue.   Transportation can be arranged up  to 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.  June 23, 2026, 1:19 pm

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 ☀️ Yard patrol ️ 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?

Meet Beau; a big, gentle soul with an even bigger heart! Beau is a large Shepherd / Bernese Mountain Dog mix (we think!) and he is every bit as wonderful as that combo sounds. Big boy? Yes. Sweet boy? Absolutely This handsome guy is all about love, hugs, and cuddles. Beau truly believes he is a lap dog at heart and will happily lean in for affection whenever he gets the chance. He has the kind of calm, loving presence that just makes you feel good being around him. In his kennel, Beau is relaxed, easygoing, and well-mannered but he would love a home where he can stretch his long legs, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy more freedom to move around. He's always eager to head outside and enjoy some fresh air. What we love about Beau: BIG, beautiful boy with a gentle personality; Extremely sweet and affectionate; Loves hugs, cuddles, and human connection; Walks great on a leash; Calm, well-behaved, and easy to be around; Ready for sunshine, strolls, and a cozy place to rest. Beau is the kind of dog who will be your loyal companion, your couch buddy, and your steady presence after a long day.

Story
If you’re looking for a co-pilot for life’s adventures, this guy is ready to hop in the passenger seat and go. This adult American Staffordshire Terrier mix lives for the simple joys, wind in his face on a car ride, a trip to Tractor Supply, and any excuse to be out and about with his person. He’s friendly, fun-loving, and always up for whatever the day brings. Water is his absolute favorite. Splashing, playing, soaking it all in, if there’s water involved, he’s all in. He’s also been known to pull a little Houdini now and then, so a secure setup and a watchful eye will keep this adventurous spirit safe. He’s got a great personality, loves to play, and truly just enjoys being part of the action. The only thing on his “no thanks” list is cats. He’s packed, ready, and waiting for his chance to leave the rescue behind and start his next chapter. If you want a fun, loyal sidekick who’s always ready to roll, he’s your guy.June 21, 2026, 2:08 pm

Duke

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, Adult
Jackson, MS
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Duke is a handsome shepherd-hound mix with a heart full of happiness and a tail that never stops wagging. He’s the kind of dog who greets the world with enthusiasm and just wants a chance to be part of it. Duke has spent too much time without an outlet for his energy, and like many smart, active dogs, he’s made his own “projects” out of boredom—chewing blankets and anything he can find, which has unfortunately led to a few surgeries. This isn’t who he is at his core—it’s a dog who simply hasn’t had the stimulation and attention he deserves. What Duke truly needs is a home where he can stretch his legs, stay engaged, and have someone looking out for him. With the right environment, structure, and supervision, he has all the potential to be an incredibly loyal, fun, and loving companion. He was left tied to a fence, but he hasn’t let that define him. Duke is still hopeful, still joyful, and still ready to give his whole heart to someone who will give him a real chance. If you’re looking for a happy, energetic dog who just needs a little guidance and a lot of love—Duke is waiting.June 21, 2026, 2:08 pm
