Story
Kevin is a sweet, cuddly, and incredibly intelligent dog who thrives in a calm, consistent environment where he’s the only pet. He bonds deeply with his humans, loves affection, and will happily follow you from room to room or curl up in his crate (his self-chosen safe space) for some downtime. He's very food motivated and quick to learn, making him a fantastic candidate for ongoing training and enrichment. He’s well-mannered in the house, crate-trained, and does great being left alone when properly introduced to a new space. Kevin walks beautifully on-leash and loves structured time outdoors - playing tug, chasing water, or stretching his legs in a secure yard. Kevin is excellent with new people in the home - friendly, excited, and social. However, if other stressors are present (e.g., another dog, high energy, loud noise), he becomes more sensitive and may need space and structure to decompress.

Story
Chase was seized from his previous home due to abuse. Chase does not have the typical border collie tail. It was broken and was amputated. He is very sweet, and will seek out affection when he is comfortable. When being walked on a leash, he stays close to handler. All fully fenced in yard since he would be a flight risk till he feels safe with his new home. Since his past is unknown a adult only home would be recommended.This special boy deserves a loving home. Come and visit with him.

Story
  EASY KEEPER BESTIE! What does that mean? THE DOBIE GREY Allow me to explain what I mean. Dobie is perfection when it comes to a content dog. Nearing 11 months old with an impeccable disposition and joy detected in his blood work results.  Dobie is one of the happiest dogs I’ve ever met. He doesn’t have an off switch because Dobie doesn’t really have an on switch. He’s content with simply being alive. Despite having endured and surviving whatever tragedy that took place to cause such harm to him, resulting in a full leg amputation, one would never know. Mentally, Dobie is rock solid. Balanced as balances should and could be for a dog. He’s stable, 100%.  Dobie really likes other dogs. I have big dogs. My smallest dog is an almost 12 year old 52lb Alpha Labrador mix. Largest dog is 153lb goofball English Mastiff. Dobie’s bestie here is my amazing larger than life 72lb Bulldog Terrier “Cow” wrecking ball cow puppy who often as possible steals Dobie’s toys.  Dobie is a complete charmer. He lives to love. He LOVES people. Walks like a grande champion on leash. Loves a potpourri of toys, is not destructive and car rides are winning lottery tickets. Dobie is a perfect copilot.  Dobie has a gentle mouth. He is not a grabber or a snapper. Dobie is very intelligent, easy to teach and his listeners work exceptionally well. Dobie has one hesitation, slippery floors. Here Dobie has a sure “yellow brick road”. I have placed a path of nonslip runners for his path for when we go outside. Once outside Dobie moves about with complete confidence. I do not have a cat or cats to test Dobie with. We do have loud obnoxious Hens to which Dobie does not even change his body language when those Hens start their noisy nonsense. Secure fenced yard would be best for Dobie to wander about while out for potty and play. Living indoors with minimal steps would be best considering he’s a perma pirate sporting his Tripaw status. Dobie does not object to being carried when a situation requires him to be picked up. He will melt into arms for cuddles. Dobie knows exactly how to behave in a kennel and crate (42 inch crate) and won’t object to having to be kenneled as long as there is a nonslip pad under his paws. Dobie is happy and he is gentle. He is a complete easy and joy filled walk in the park type of dog. At 11 months old Dobie has a long life ahead and would greatly appreciate sharing life with kind and loving human(s) that desire an easy keeper. He would be a phenomenal vacation dog. I don’t believe Dobie should be expected to hike a mountain, run a 5k or walks for endless miles, but dog carts and strollers are Dobie approved and then some. Dobie loves just hanging around and loves the outdoors while out on visits to meet new humans. Because Dobie is a Tripaw, I don’t believe a forever family with toddlers would be his ideal forever.  Dobie is up to date on all vaccinations, is neutered, and heartworm negative. He is current on his monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention. A clear fecal and a negative 4DX with good bloodwork are part of his health history.  33.12lbs of absolute loving joy.  Bonus - Dobie is a perfect candidate as a therapy dog. He would love to visit those in need of tender loving joy. He wouldn’t object to being famous while trading some pets and extra love. Dobie’s adoption fee is $350. He is currently located in SC & can be transported up to 1400 miles via the NBRAN Canine Railroad. For more information, contact Karen Carr kecarr72@icloud.com.    October 26, 2026, 11:48 am

Story
Greetings, Humans! I'm Hank Jr! Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Hank, a dashing 18-month-old French Brittany with movie-star looks, a comedian's timing, and ears expertly designed for maximum adorability. At a lean and athletic 30 pounds, I'm the perfect size for adventures, couch cuddles, and showing off my zoomies in a fenced backyard. Everyone tells me I'm handsome, but I try to stay humble. (It's difficult when you're this cute.) Life has been teaching me lots of new things. I didn't have much experience with grass before coming to my foster home, so I've been learning the fine art of outdoor potty etiquette. I'm almost completely house-trained and working hard toward earning my "100% Good Boy" certificate. I can be a little shy when meeting new people or hearing loud noises. Think of me as a sensitive soul with a big heart. Once I trust you, you'll discover that I'm affectionate, silly, and always ready to make you laugh. My résumé includes: Professional leash walker Excellent passenger on car rides Certified Dog Treat Specialist Milk-Bone Enthusiast Non-destructive house guest Expert snuggle recipient I'd especially love a canine sibling to help me navigate this big exciting world. A fenced yard would be my dream playground, and a patient family willing to cheer me on as I continue building confidence would make me the happiest boy alive. In return, I promise loyalty, laughter, companionship, and approximately one million loving looks per year. So, what do you think? Could your family use a handsome little sidekick with a goofy grin and a heart of gold? My adoption fee is $400 to help offset the expenses associated with getting me (and other fabulous, rescued Brittanys) in excellent condition for a fabulous new home. You do not have to live in Tennessee, NBRAN will transport me up to 1400 miles to my furever home. Please contact Suzanne Horsley ztasuzanne@gmail.com or Debbie Tuthill agilitybrits@gmail.com to find out more about me!
