Story

Cooper was adopted by me from a rescue in Troy, Michigan 4 years ago. He is now 6 years old and healthy, but I now live in Canada in a more crowded environment. He needs a quieter home, away from traffic, pets, and people. Cooper is very loyal to his owner, and requires a lot of exercise. He will fetch, catch frisbees, and play tug. A large fenced area is required for his exercise.

Story

Akela is a 10 yr old Australian Sheppard bought from a breeder her in London Ontario. She has been a memeber of our family since she was a puppy. She is an active girl, still enjoys going for runs, walks, and would play fetch all day if she could. We love her very much but have since had 4 children and the attention we can provide her has diminished while her needs for one on one affection have stayed high. We are really torn about even considering rehoming her but want her to have the best life she can have. Akela would thrive with someone who has experience with the breed and is willing to provide her that one on one time and love. If they could do that they would have a loyal companion for the rest of her years.

Story

Buddy Holly Have you ever looked into the eyes of a dog? I mean really looked. Hi.My name is Martha. Buddy asked me to write his bio since his English is not good. Although I have never met Buddy, I have looked into his eyes in the photos taken of him. In them I have found kindness, earnestness, love, and vulnerability. I have owned and cared for three Brittanys from their youth to their elder years. Without a doubt, I can tell you that the elder ones are a delight and eager to please. Buddy at 9 years is a liver and white Brittany mix currently being fostered in Michigan. He is curious and playful, but also has a mellow side to him.. In broken English Buddy tells me he loves to run around the yard with surges of joyful enthusiasm. After his energy runs out, he likes to relax with a nap or snuggle. Going for a walk is one of his preferred activities. His stuffed animals and squeaky toys are his treasures, and he can be seen showing them off with pride wherever he goes. He tells me that when he plays with his squeaky toys, he pretends to be one of them and tries to squeak back, hoping to sound like his namesake. However, he realizes this is a lost cause and contents himself with burping now and then. Buddy is house trained and crate trained. Since he is not a fan of other dogs, he tells me he would be happy to be the only pet his home. He is informed me that he would prefer to be in a calm home with adults or older kids familiar with canine behavior who can give him the space he need and appreciate his relax relaxed way of life. Although he has not been tested with children, his calm and engaging manner would more than make up for this. Buddy is a sturdy dog who is in excellent health and takes no medications. He is a serious alarm system. He will let you know if something out of the ordinary is going on around the house. He has an impish strain, such as digging when bored. He will be at his best if he has structured play time or organized activities to occupy his inquisitive mind. Buddy is a dog with healthy contrasts. He is able to juggle joy and companionship. He can be playful without being overwhelming, devoted without being clingy, and thoroughly faithful. Buddy wants you to know the following: " I don't drink alcohol or use illicit drugs. I don't smoke or drink coffee. I have never been arrested. You will find me to be of sound character. I may have bursts of enthusiasm, but I also like to snuggle on the couch and watch Netflix with you." Could you be the one to give this sweet boy the forever home he deserves?

Need to reach your State Coordinator, find their contact information here https://nbran.org/about/state-provincial-coordinators. MI/Buddy Holly adoption fee is $275.00 which will help NBRAN cover the vetting costs and other expenses associated vetting and readying our Britts ready for adoption. Don't live in MI or close by?

Story

Meet Dee -- This Michigan girl is a bright, playful girl with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. Friendly and outgoing, she loves meeting new people and greets strangers with happy enthusiasm. Dee gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys spending time playing with her canine friends. She’s also great with children, making her a wonderful candidate for an active family looking for a fun-loving companion. This energetic girl thrives on activity. Walks, car rides, and playtime are some of Dee’s favorite things, and she’s happiest when she has plenty of opportunities to burn off energy during the day. After a good day of exercise and fun, she’s ready to settle in and relax with her people in the evening. Dee is housebroken and even rings a bell to let you know when she needs to go outside—such a smart girl! While she hasn’t had extensive formal training yet, she already knows “sit” and is eager to learn more. With consistent guidance and positive reinforcement, Dee will continue to blossom into an amazing companion. She’s used to wearing a collar and leash but is still learning leash manners and may jump up when she gets excited. Like many young, active dogs, Dee has a few quirks. She occasionally chews or digs and tends to gulp her meals, so a slow-feeder bowl is recommended. She’s comfortable living as a house dog and can adjust to kenneling when needed. Her reactions to cats is unknown, so any introductions should be slow and supervised. Dee would do best in a home that has a physically fenced yard, companion dog and parents who are home most of the time that can provide plenty of daily activity, enrichment, and continued training. In return, she’ll bring endless joy, affection, and laughter to the lucky family who welcomes her home. If you’re looking for a cheerful, energetic companion who loves adventure and being part of the action, Dee may be the perfect match for you! Could you be the one to give this sweet girl the forever home she deserves? Fill out an application at: https://nbran.org/adopt/adoption-application. Once your application is submitted the coordinator in the State where you reside will follow-up with you. Need to reach your State Coordinator, find their contact information here https://nbran.org/about/state-provincial-coordinators. MI/Dee's adoption fee is $400.00 which will help NBRAN cover the vetting costs and other expenses associated vetting and readying our Britts ready for adoption. Don't live in MI or close by?

Story

Buddy is a one-year-old, handsome fellow. He is part Brittany, part Basset Hound. Buddy had a rough start in life, growing up with 6 of his littermates in the same house after his owner passed away. He was bullied quite a lot and didn't get much human attention. He is making up for that now. He LOVES being with one attentive person. He does not like being left alone and will be by your side every moment that he can. He is very smart and has learned not to jump up on people. He has learned to sit, give a paw, give another paw, and lie down, all within about a month. So the more time you spend with him, the more he will learn. He does not like being kenneled and will whine loudly if confined. This will need to be worked on. Buddy enjoys sleeping with his humans at bedtime and will lie quietly on the bed throughout the night. Buddy will need someone who can spend a lot of time with him, and he will need to be crated when left alone. He tends to be very mouthy and will try to investigate and chew on most things, so it’s important to puppy-proof your home. He is also learning to fetch and loves watching and chasing birds. With those long legs, fortunately, he does not attempt to jump fences! Buddy's adoption fee is $400 to offset the cost of vetting and to help other rescues in need. He is currently located in Virginia and can be transported up to 1400 miles via our Canine Railroad.

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. March 7, 2026, 3:26 pm
