Story
Theo is a golddoodle about 8 years old and 70 lbs. He is very gentle and patient, even with small children. He also gets along well with other dogs. He is housetrained but we could never stop him from counter surfing. He is very affectionate and would rather sit in your lap than go for a walk or play fetch. He has been a good dog, but my daughter's allergies are getting worse. We've tried just having him outside, but know that's not fair to him either. His food and water dish are included.

Story
Our foster dog, who we lovingly call "Hank", was found at a construction site in Clinton, MS. We walked him around the surrounding neighborhoods but no one had seen him before. At our vet, we found out he didn't have a microchip either. After posting on local Lost&Found Facebook groups we reached out to shelters but none had room to take him in. That was mid-December and now we're entering April. Our current dog is not a fan of Hank's--not his fault, she's just a drama queen. But the main reason we can't keep Hank is because we both work full-time and do not have the time or resources to train and give him a healthy and active life. With us he's having to be kenneled for a good bit of the day. He loves the outdoors and he just wants to run around and have fun all day.

Story
We rescued Jax as an 8 week old puppy right before COVID, so hes about 6 years old. Were looking for a stable home with preferably active and experienced dog owners with no kids with a decent enough yard for him to run and play. He loves a good long walk or to play fetch with his favorite ball. Hs a loving, sweet bundle of joy been an important part of our family since day 1. Hs good with other dogs, after they get acclimated to each other. Weve always had 2 dogs, so hes been the youngest and the oldest brother. Hes great with cats. We recently had our first child and there were signs that he wasnt going to be good with kids. We had an incident over a week ago where he nipped at our 11mo old and weve come to the toughest and unfortunate decision to find him a new home. His one real weakness is he can be skittish/anxious at times, especially on a leash. But what he lacks in that department, he makes up for it in spades by being the most loyal & loving friend ever.

Story
Bod was adopted as a puppy in China in 2019 and brought to the United States in 2022. She is playful and loving, though she is nervous around new people and may growl or bark, but I have never known her to bite anyone. She makes friends quickly, especially with the inducement of treats. She loves toys like a small footballs and braided chew ropes, but she will chew something like a flimsy plastic chicken squeaky toy to pieces in minutes. I hate to give Bod up, but I lost my job and need to relocate, and I don’t have the means to take proper care of her right now. She also needs more exercise than I can give her in my present condition. She deserves lots of love and someone who will give her lots of walks and belly rubs.

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
