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.  August 12, 2026, 5:35 pm

Bonnie is like a butterfly waiting to spread her wings. She's timid, gentle, and still learning that she's safe. Every kind word and every patient moment helps her grow a little braver.

Bonnie is simply waiting for someone who believes she's worth the wait.August 12, 2026, 4:03 pm

Story
Hazelnut~ If sunshine had four legs and a wagging tail… it would be Hazelnut. This sweet chocolate lab girl is pure joy—always ready to run, play, and chase the wind like it’s her best friend. She has that classic lab spirit: happy, loving, and just a little bit silly in the most endearing way. Hazelnut doesn’t just like the outdoors—she belongs there. Give her a patch of grass, a little space to stretch her legs, and she’ll light up like the happiest girl in the world. But right now, her world is small. And she’s dreaming of more. She’s dreaming of open skies, long runs, and someone to laugh alongside her as she grows into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Big heart. Playful spirit. A life just waiting to begin. Hazelnut is ready for her adventure… she just needs someone to take her home.August 12, 2026, 4:03 pm

This handsome, young brindle boy is packed with energy, love, and a whole lot of wiggle. If you know boxers, you know life is never boring with one around, and Einstein is true to his roots.

Story
Hi... I'm Nehemiah. I've been waiting a very long time for someone to notice me. While other dogs have come and gone, I've quietly watched the seasons change from my kennel, hoping one day it would finally be my turn. I'm a friendly old soul who doesn't ask for much—just a soft bed, a gentle hand, and someone to love. Please don't let my whole story be a shelter story. Some dogs grow old in a loving home. I've grown old waiting for one. Could you help change my ending?August 12, 2026, 4:03 pm
