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 30, 2026, 6:46 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?

Ariel looks like she stepped straight out of a dream—those icy blue eyes sparkling like little diamonds, just waiting to be seen. She’s happy, bubbly, and full of life… the kind of girl who lights up the moment she gets out of her kennel. Easy to walk, always ready for a treat, and curious about the world around her—she’s just waiting for her moment to shine. All she needs now is her magic carpet ride out of the shelter… and into a life where she’s loved like she deserves.June 29, 2026, 10:35 pm
