Story
Steeve (like Stevie) is a very sweet girl. We got her from the Amish whose dog accidentally had puppies. Her birthday is April 9th 2023, so she’s 3! She is very cuddly once she gets to know you, but very very shy( but not aggressive). Needs warming up to other dogs and people. Has not met many children.

Story
TILLSONBURG, ON - Sometimes life changes in ways a dog could never understand. Tisa was living with a family who loved her, but when circumstances changed, they made the difficult decision to ask a friend to care for her. Unfortunately, that arrangement became permanent, and Tisa suddenly found herself without the family she knew. That’s where SPIN came in. Of course, we said yes to this sweet girl! Tisa’s journey to her foster home had one little detour. When our volunteer arrived to pick her up, Tisa had managed to escape the house and was off on an adventure of her own. While it may have been exciting for Tisa, it was definitely not exciting for the people trying to find her! Thankfully, another SPIN supporter spotted her and was able to safely secure her. Her adventure was over, and Tisa was soon on her way to her foster home. Now that she has had some time to settle in, her foster family has learned that Tisa is a loving, affectionate girl who really just wants to be close to her people. She enjoys her walks, loves to play with her canine friends, and is equally happy snuggling up for a nap.

Story
Nacho is a sweet and attention-loving, 8 year old bull mastiff mix. She is well trained, walks well, and listens to basic sit/stay commands. She regretfully is being re homed due to her incompatibility with children. There are a few things that make Nacho nervous, however she thrives in a calm home with lot's of love and attention. She needs reassurance often when near children, other pets, loud strangers. She enjoys short, slow walks where she can take time to "smell the roses". She loves snuggling and having her belly rubbed. She communicates well when nervous, and tends to retreat to a quieter area when things get overwhelming. The ideal home for Nacho would be a small quiet household consisting of older teens and adults. She appreciates routine and is an excellent companion for folks who enjoy home-based hobbies such as gardening, reading, crafting, etc.

Story
Hi Brittany Lovers! My name is Hank and I am approximately 18 months old. When I got to NBRAN, I visited the vet and got all my vaccines and I was neutered. I am heartworm negative and I take my monthly heartworm preventatives like a good boy!  I am a very handsome male French Brittany, if I do say so myself. Actually, everyone that meets me says I am very handsome! At 30 lbs., I am a little guy.  I can be very shy, but I can also be very loving. One thing for sure, I don’t like you touching my feet!  Because, I had lived my life in a kennel with a concrete floor, I did not play or walk in the grass much.  That makes going to the potty on the grass confusing for me.  I was only allowed to relieve myself on the concrete.  I am very smart, but sometimes habits can be hard to break, and house training has not been easy for me.  I would love a home with a housetrained doggie friend that would help me learn the ropes, but I am proud to say that I have done so well on my housetraining, I might not need another dog to show me the ropes.  I have never been around cats, but I don’t think I would like them very much! My foster family loves me but wants me to have a family of my very own.  I am still fixated with rolling in things that don’t smell so good, but my foster mom has worked with me, and I am getting lots better.  I need a home with a fenced backyard to run in, and a doggie door would help me with housetraining, although it is not a “must have.” I am a Houdini in my collar and harness and have been known to try to get out of them (successfully) and explore. Do you think you would like me to come be part of your family? If you have patience and a loving home where I can have fenced yard, I would love to come live with you! My adoption fee is $400 to help offset the expenses associated with getting me ( and other fabulous rescued Brittanys) in great condition for a fabulous new home.  You don't 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!

Story
Are you looking for your new best friend and adventure partner, whether it is exploring nature or riding shotgun in your vehicle?  Dottie is a beautiful, smart independent 8-year-old, 54 lb,  orange and white spayed female who is full of energy. She loves attention and lovin. In addition, Dottie loves outdoor adventures and enjoys scanning the woods for birds and other critters. Dottie has a high prey drive and is also very food motivated.  Her adopter needs to understand that she gives harmless love nips in an attempt to get affection. Dottie is eager to please.  If Dottie has a fursibling, the fursibling will need to be submissive and easygoing.  Also, only homes with older considerate children will be considered. To keep this sweet girl emotionally stimulated, Dottie would enjoy puzzles and other enrichment activities.   Would you like to participate in agility or barn hunts with your Brittany? Well....Dottie is your gal!  Due to her keen sense pf smell, Dottie enjoys scent games in the house and in the backyard. In true Brittany fashion, Dottie pulls on a leash. She could use some additional leash training. A fenced yard is required for Dottie. She loves to run for the fun of it. Precious Dottie is housetrained and even though she is crate trained, she is trusted alone in the house; however, she is a well accomplished counter surfer, she has even been known to slide open a few doors.  At her previous foster home, she wore and responded to an e collar for recall. Her nose simply gets the best of her, so at times, without the e collar Dottie experiences selective hearing. Even though Dottie can be super active and instinctive, she gives lots of love and affection. She has been well loved and will be a fabulous dog for the right home. Dottie is heartworm negative, spayed and up to date on all vaccines.  She also receives monthly heartworm preventative. Below is Dottie’s furever home wishlist: A home full of love with lots of hugs and snuggles An active home  A fenced back yard An easygoing and submissive doggie fursibling - NO CATS Dottie would also excel at the following  Agility Scent activities Dottie's adoption fee is $350 to offset vetting costs. She is currently located in North Georgia, but can be transported up to 1400 miles to an approved adopter. (with the adopter being responsible for the last up to 100 miles).

Story
Pete is a 4-year-old Brittany neutered male. He is an endearing quirky boy that is kind, gentle and affectionate. Pete was born with cataracts and was completely blind when he came to NBRAN. A diagnosis and treatment plan that included surgery was quickly decided after an NBRAN volunteer took Pete to an appointment with a doggie ophthalmologist. The surgery was successful and Pete regained his sight.  Even though the surgery was successful, Pete can become fixated on light and shadows. Pete's favorite activity is playing fetch and retrieving the ball.  Like lots of Brittanys, Pete has been known to try and occasionally succeed in eating nonfood items. While Pete is outside, if exposed to items like sticks and acorns, he needs to be watched. But most of the time, he is far too busy joyfully retrieving a ball instead of eating things he should not. Like a typical young dog, he will eat items inside he should not. Pete has been trained to wear a muzzle and does not mind it if his adopter feels necessary. He is crate trained, but no blankets, pillows, or pads please. If you want a lovebug, Pete is your dog. Did I mention he loves belly rubs? While Pete can be quite social with older considerate children and adults, he is not so great with other dogs. Pete MUST BE THE ONLY DOG IN THE HOME-NO EXCEPTIONS! He is so kind to people and he has the softest touch. He will be a great companion for a retired family or families with older children. A secure fenced yard would be ideal for him to be able to explore and to safely fetch the ball. Pete's foster mom loves him and so will you. Pete is a great leash walker and has perfect recall. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccines. Pete requires eye drops once a day, but do not let that influence your decision not to learn more about this sweet boy. Reach out to us and let us discuss it. Other than that, Pete is extremely healthy.    He loves to ride in the car and watch the world go by while looking out the window. Pete is eager to please and will do anything ask of him. He is a happy dog and when he is tired, he loves to sit and cuddle.    Precious Pete's adoption Fee is $400 to help offset medical expenses. NBRAN will provide transportation, up to 1400 miles, to an approved home.
