Story
Meet Bo Beau – Your Smiling, Tail-Wagging Best Buddy! Hey there, I’m Bo Beau, a 6-year-old, 38 lb liver and white Brittany boy with the friendliest heart and the biggest smile around! I’m neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm and tick negative, and I’m on the hunt for my very own forever family to love and have fun with. I’m what you’d call a happy-go-lucky guy—I love to play, wag my tail, flash my charming smile, and make friends wherever I go. I’m crate trained, get along great with other dogs, and would really enjoy having a canine sibling to show me the ropes and join in on the fun. What I’m Hoping For: A physically fenced yard where I can run, sniff, and chase all the imaginary critters. An active family who’ll take me on walks, adventures, or just enjoy playtime in the yard. A cozy home filled with belly rubs, treats, and lots of love. A dog buddy would be awesome, but most importantly, I just want a human who’ll be my best friend forever. I’ve still got a little weight to gain, but with your love (and a few cookies), I’ll fill out just fine! I'm sweet, affectionate, and ready to bring joy and companionship to your life. If you're looking for a loyal, playful pup with a heart full of love and a smile that never quits—I’m your Bo Beau! Ready to meet your new best friend? I’m just a tail wag away! The adoption fee for OK/Bo Beau, who lives in Tulsa, OK  is $350,  which helps to offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.  If you are interested in making OK/Bo Beau part of your family, please complete the online application by visiting www.nbran.org .  Contact the South Central Region Coordinators Melinde Waddle at macgammy@gmail.com  and/or Chris Wagoner at cwnbran@gmail.com and/or Nancy Walker at nwalker@capecod.net  and then let your state coordinator know so we can get the ball rolling.  A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process by your state coordinator, before talking to Melinde on Bo Beau, he is in boarding.  Transportation can be arranged up 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.     March 31, 2025, 6:50 pm

Axel – A Big Heart Ready for a Fresh Start  Hi there… my name is Axel, and if you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to warm your heart and your home, I just might be your guy. I’m a 4-year-old, 53 lb orange and white neutered Brittany with soulful eyes, a gentle spirit, and a heart full of hope. I’ve been waiting patiently in boarding, dreaming of soft beds, belly rubs, and the simple joy of being part of a family.  Would you be interested in being my foster family to begin my journey to find my forever home?   I’m healthy, up-to-date on all my vaccines, heartworm and tick negative, and on prevention—ready to walk into your life and fill it with love. I’ll need a fenced yard where I can run and chase the critters (Brittany-style, of course), and I’d be thrilled to have a foster sibling or two to help show me the ropes. But more than anything, I just want to be loved, spoiled, and given a chance to shine. A kind photographer said I was happy, huggable, and such a good boy—just waiting for someone to see the spark in me. I’ve got love to give and cuddles to spare… all I need now is you. Fostering saves lives—and it could change mine forever. NBRAN covers all my vetting. You provide the love, the soft place to land, and the encouragement that helps me find my forever. If your heart is saying "yes," please visit www.nbran.org to fill out a Volunteer/Foster application. I’m waiting in Tulsa, OK, but transport can be arranged up to 1,400 miles (you’d only need to cover the last 100!). So, what do you say? Let’s start this beautiful new chapter together.

Story
Meet Axel, a 7 1/2 year old purebred orange & white male brittany.  Axel loves other dogs & kids, but definitely no cats. He has a high prey drive and needs a steady job.  He would love the opportunity to hunt.  He is not gun shy and has excellent recall.   He must have a home with a lot of land. A working farm would be perfect for him.  He needs a lot of daily exercise and to be kept busy.  Axel is an escape artist and requires a privacy fence of at least 6' high.  He is an expert at escaping and considers it a great game.  Since he does have great recall, he comes back once called. However, he must be supervised when he's outside. This is why a lot of land, and away from roads, is important.  Axel is well socialized and will do anything you ask of him. He is very sweet, but driven and needs an outlet for his energy. He loves to be outside and is very goofy.  Like most bird dogs, he is not great on a leash, but does excellent on a long lead.  He is crate trained and should be crated when left alone.  He tends to get into mischief, especially if not highly exercised. Axel is neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. He is located in northwestern GA and is available for transport up to 1400 miles, with the adopter driving the last 100 miles to pick him up.  His adoption fee is $350.  If you are interested in adopting Axel, please submit an adoption application at www.nbran.org and mention his name. Also, feel free to reach out to jessica@thesouthernway.com with any questions.May 8, 2025, 8:42 pm

Story
Hi there! I’m Trace — your future best friend with a heart full of love and legs full of zoomies! I’m a young, handsome 46 lbs of lovable orange/white neutered Brittany boy who’s 2 yrs and learning that life is actually pretty great — especially when it involves snuggles, toys, and playing fetch (my fave!). I’ve come a long way since arriving at my foster home — no more cowering, no more accidents in the house, and I’m crushing my leash walks like a little champ. I’m super friendly and doing great with my foster brother Walker and our neighborhood playdates. I’d love to have another playful pup in my forever home — someone fun and energetic like me, or a chill buddy who doesn’t mind my puppy wiggles.  I need a fenced in yard to play with my new brother or sister, so we can patrol our yard together. Now, let’s be honest… I still have bursts of puppy energy and may turn your hallway into a racetrack when the zoomies hit, but hey — life’s a party! I also love to cuddle and be close to my people, though I’m still learning that “love bites” are best saved for toys (don’t worry, I’m working on it!). I’m housebroken, crate trained, not food aggressive (Walker and I even share bowls like fancy gentlemen), and I haven’t chewed anything I shouldn’t — unless you count chewing your heart with my cuteness. If you're looking for a goofy, loving, playful boy who’s already made huge strides and is only going to get better, I’m your Trace. Let’s chase balls, snuggle close, and make some tail-wagging memories together! I am utd on my vaccines, hw/tick neg and on prevention. I am a very healthy boy. The adoption fee for KS/Trace, who lives in Olathe, MO  is $400,  which helps to offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.  If you are interested in making KS/Trace part of your family, please complete the online application by visiting www.nbran.org .  Contact the South Central Region Coordinators Melinde Waddle at macgammy@gmail.com  and/or Chris Wagoner at cwnbran@gmail.com and/or Nancy Walker at nwalker@capecod.net  and then let your state coordinator know so we can get the ball rolling.  A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process by your state coordinator, before talking to the foster of Trace.  Transportation can be arranged up 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.May 10, 2025, 11:19 am

Story
Gentle & Vulnerable: My name is Zeke. I’m a special boy who’s still learning that the world is a safe place. I might need a little extra time, but I promise, once I trust you, my heart is all yours. I am a 8 1/2 yr old, 44 lbs of handsome orange/white neutered male Brittany, with a tender heart that’s still learning how wonderful the world can be. You see, I lost my owner, had to face a whole new world without my owner, and while I may seem a little scared and unsure at first, all I really want is to feel safe and loved. I’m what they call a diamond in the rough—a shy boy with a heart full of love just waiting to shine. It might take me a little time to trust, but once I do, I’ll be your most loyal shadow, quietly soaking up all the love and cuddles you can offer. I just need someone patient and kind, who understands that building trust is the greatest gift you can give a soul like mine. I may not be the first to greet you at the door or jump into your lap—but give me time, love, and a little space, and I’ll be the sweetest companion you could ever ask for. Together, we can take this journey at my pace, and I promise, once I trust you, I’ll give you all the love in my heart. I’m crate trained, neutered, up-to-date on my vaccines, heartworm & tick negative, and as healthy as can be. I’d love a calm home, maybe with another gentle doggy friend who can show me the ropes, and a physical fenced in yard where I can feel free and safe enough to stretch my legs and enjoy the sunshine. I am living in my foster trainer’s house; she has shown me so much.  She has been kind and patient.  I have learned that I can be loved, scratched, give some cuddles, and have some fun. I have learned going in and out of doors is ok, it is safe to come out of the crate.  I love to run and play in the yard. I love my treats.  My trainer has taught me paw, and she does lots of training games.  The best part is all the treats I get.  When she is done, I look at her and say, “Let’s do more!!!” Foster Trainer:  He is a sweet boy, but he will need a gentle and patient person. Loving and kind.  Zeke makes me giggle when I scratch his rump, and he does the rump scratch dance.  He has come such a long way in just a short time. The adoption fee for OK/Zeke Zek, who lives in Tulsa, OK  is $350,  which helps to offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.  If you are interested in making OK/Zeke Zek part of your family, please complete the online application by visiting www.nbran.org .  Contact the South Central Region Coordinators Melinde Waddle at macgammy@gmail.com  and/or Chris Wagoner at cwnbran@gmail.com and/or Nancy Walker at nwalker@capecod.net  and then let your state coordinator know so we can get the ball rolling.  A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process by your state coordinator, before talking to the foster of Zeke Zek.  Transportation can be arranged up 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.    April 22, 2025, 5:04 pm
