Story
We rescued sweet Miles from the side of the road as a starving puppy in September 2025. He is now neutered, up-to-date on his shots, house-trained, and healthy as can be. He has a lot of energy and loves to play. Miles seems to have natural hunt/pursue instincts and may do well with that activity. The reason we need to find a new home for him is because he chases our cat. He has some lingering food anxiety (likely from when he was homeless) that causes him to steal our other, smaller dog's food when he given the chance, so we feed them separately. We have an extra large crate that will go with Miles to his new home.

Story
Maple is a 2.5-year-old French Brittany who packs a whole lot of charm into her perfect 25-pound frame. Her foster family lovingly calls her “Meatball,” and honestly…it fits. She’s adorable, goofy, snuggly, and absolutely devoted to her people. Maple LOVES car rides, plush toys, and curling up next to you for belly rubs. She didn’t get much freedom or enrichment in her early life and likely spent most of her time in a kennel, so she came to us needing a refresher on potty training and some basic house habits. She’s made steady progress but still needs a patient family willing to keep her routine consistent. She can be a bit curious and may check out items that aren’t technically “hers,” so keeping tempting things out of reach and offering plenty of dog-safe toys will set her up for success. Maple does well in her kennel when her people are out of the house. She may give a little protest bark at first (she just has to make sure you know she has notes), but she settles down and rests quietly once she realizes she’s safe. Maple is not a dog that can live with or closely interact with other dogs. Through training, she has made progress in calmly seeing dogs at a distance with positive reinforcement, but pushing those interactions too quickly can cause anxiety for her. For her comfort and safety, she must be an only dog, and a fenced-in yard (ideally privacy fenced) would suit her best so she can explore and enjoy the outdoors stress-free. She’s playful, affectionate, and incredibly people-oriented. Maple has mastered “sit", and is working on more tricks, but needs a little patience since she isn’t very food motivated. Maple is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Now she’s just waiting for a family who sees how special she is and can give her the structure, love, and dog-free home she deserves. Maple is currently in foster care in Wisconsin and has an adoption donation fee of $400.  If you are interested in adopting her and have been approved to adopt, let your state coordinator know you are interested in her.  If you haven’t yet done so, please go to: https://www.nbran.org/adopt/adoption-application to fill out an application.  Your state coordinator will contact you and take you through the approval process.  If your application looks like a possible fit for her, your coordinator will contact Maple’s coordinator and continue the screening process. Maple’s state coordinator is Hallie Barbara. She can be reached at Minnesotabrittany@gmail.com for questions or inquires.   Thank you for considering this sweet girl.  December 15, 2025, 9:27 am

Story
Meet Kirby — a handsome, freckle-faced Brittany with a heart that just needs the right person to unlock it. Hello everyone, my name is Kirby. I was a stray, but I haven’t let that dull my sparkle. I’m a 4-year-old, 43-lb orange and white, freckled, neutered Brittany, and I’m ready to find my forever human. I can be a little anxious when I first meet new people, but give me a bit of patience and kindness and you’ll see the real me shine through. Once I feel safe, I turn into a playful, snuggly, very sweet boy. One of my absolute favorite things? When you come into the yard with me—I get so excited because time together is my favorite thing. I’m more of a “my space matters” kind of guy. I’ve been around other dogs and do just fine as long as they respect my boundaries. I don’t fence fight, I don’t cause drama, and honestly, I seem pretty content doing my own thing. Because of that, I may be happiest as your one-and-only best friend, soaking up all your love. I’m a very good kennel boy too—especially compared to most rescues. I rarely have accidents and have never messed my kennel, which tells you I’m trying really hard to be the good boy I am (solid 8/10, if I do say so myself ). What do I need to be happy? A secure fenced yard Toys (yes please!) Rawhides (my weakness) Cookies, belly rubs, and lots of love And most importantly… my person If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle, affectionate Brittany who will bond deeply with you and be your constant companion, Kirby just might be your guy. Give him a chance, and he’ll give you his whole heart Ready to meet your new best friend? Kirby is waiting. The adoption fee for OK/Kirby, who lives in Tulsa, OK  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 OK/Kirby 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/Kirby-Melinde Waddle @ macgammy@gmail.com  Once approved by your state coordinator, I will setup talking to the foster of Kirby. Transportation can be arranged up  to 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.January 25, 2026, 11:20 am
