Story
TILLSONBURG, ON - Bogart is a small Standard Poodle, about 7-8 years old, who is just beginning to discover what it means to be a dog. Before coming into SPIN’s care, Bogart lived in a commercial breeding facility. His world was a barn and a stall, and his purpose was to produce puppies. He didn't grow up in a home, go for walks, meet people at the door, ride in a car, curl up on a couch or learn all the ordinary things that make up a dog's life. So when Bogart arrived in foster care, he had a lot of catching up to do. He is still timid. A sudden movement or unfamiliar noise can startle him, and new people can be overwhelming, but he has been learning. Underneath that cautious exterior is a very sweet boy who is curious, gentle and trying hard to figure out this big, new world. His foster mom says that sometimes he is braver than others. We think that's an important part of Bogart's story. Progress isn't always a straight line. Some days he takes a big step forward, and other days he needs a little more reassurance. That's okay. Bogart has spent his whole life knowing very little about the world. Now he gets the chance to learn what life can be.

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
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
Meet Dixie 🐾❤️ Dixie is an almost 6-year-old sweet and gentle girl who is looking for a loving forever home. She can be a little shy at first and may need some time to feel comfortable and build trust with new people. Once she gets to know you, she is a very sweet, affectionate, and wonderful companion. Dixie is not aggressive and is generally calm and easygoing. She enjoys having some quiet time to herself and is happiest in a peaceful environment where she can relax at her own pace. We are looking for a patient and loving family who can make a long-term commitment to Dixie and give her the time, attention, and affection she deserves. A home where someone can spend plenty of time with her would be ideal. Her future family should also be willing to take her for regular walks and maintain a consistent outdoor potty routine. She does well with outdoor bathroom breaks and would benefit from a home where she can continue this routine.

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
Allow me to introduce myself! 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! The only thing cuter than my adorable looks is my bigger than life comedic personality. My foster mom thinks I am hilarious! At 30 lbs., I am a little guy. I can be very shy, but I can also be very loving. At times, I get intimidated by loud noises. I lived in a kennel with a concrete floor and did not play or walk in the grass much. That makes going to the potty on the grass at my foster home confusing for me. I am modest when I do my business, so I like my foster mom to look away and give me privacy. I am almost totally housetrained, but my foster mom lets me wear a belly band to keep me from getting the urge to hike my leg in the house. I am extremely smart and I really like to please my human. I would love a home with a doggie friend that would help me learn the ropes and be my playmate. I have never been around cats, but I do not think I would like them very much! My foster family loves me but wants me to have a family of my very own. I want a home with a fenced backyard to run in, and a doggie door would help me get 100% housetrained (only 10% to go), although it is not a “must have.”  I am more motivated by affection than food, even though I love chicken and pupperoni sticks. Before bed I even like a Milkbone! I walk politely on a leash, enjoy riding in the car and I am not destructive. While I can be reactive to loud noises, I am not particularly scared of thunderstorms. Do you think you would like me to 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 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!
