Story
Brady (from the bunch...if ya know ya know!) is looking for his PAWfect FURever home! Just in from Brady: "Does anyone want to guess what I asked Santa for? I was supposed to ask for a home and I did but I added a subscrit to the sausage of the month club, a new yellow ball and also some slippers for Foster Mom. I am a 5 month old, male, white pointer /pit mix puppy. The humans call me Brady. I was named after Tom Brady because my Foster family says I am a champion. I love to fetch a ball. But not the football kind, the tennis kind. I tolerate cats and get along well with other dogs. I walk on a leash. I am crate trained and working on potty training. I am a very cool looking guy with the most beautiful light blue eyes. My fur is all white, except for the black spot above my tail. It looks as if someone accidentally dropped their ink pen there. I am excellent with kids and adults alike. I went to see Santa and did great with everyone there including Santa, despite him not smelling like sugar cookies as expected. Gonna be honest, it was a good try with the beard and red suit, but I don’t think that was the real Santa. So I’ll need your help in finding a home instead." About Brady: Brady is a 5 month old male, pointer/pittie mix. His name reflects his personality. From his foster Mom: We seem him as a champion: good with people, likeable, sociable and oh-so-good looking!! Just like his namesake. Brady is all white with the cutest little spot on his hind end. He has incredible frosty blue eyes! Brady is crate trained, walks well on a leash each morning, enjoys a good game of fetching a tennis balls and as toe be expected for a pup of his age, has lots of good energy! Brady is highly motivated by treats and food. He gets along really well with the 11 year old foster resident dog and his 3 resident foster cats! He's almost fully potty trained! Brady will do great with another dog in the house. He loves too run and play with his current neighbor dogs too! Life for Brady started out quite ruff. Brady was found by a partner of our rescue with his 7 siblings and Mom in a back yard in Texas. One sibling puppy had already passed away after getting into rat poisoning while looking for food and the father dog was mauled to death by a nearby pack of dogs. Although our rescue was already full, we couldn't say no to this sweet family. Pups were pulled one-by-one as foster homes opened up and eventually, we were able to save the entire family. The pups were young enough to be receptive to our help and are just blossoming in their foster homes! Mom was a pointer mix and Dad was a pittie mix. Brady is 5 months old and weighs ~40 lbs. Brady has not been around small children yet however Brady has not shown us any signs he wouldn't do well with children who are respectful of dogs! Sweet Brady is currently blossoming in his current foster home in San Antonio Texas but is ready to travel to the PNW (transportation costs are covered in his adoption fee). Brady's adoption fee is $550 and includes out of state transportation, vaccinations, neuter and microchip. 100% of the adoption fee goes to Brady's care.

Meet Loki, the gentlest soon-to-be-giant (we estimate somewhere in the 70-lb range, when full grown). Ok, so not THAT giant. More like a perfect big boy to keep you warm this winter! Also an expert at tetherball...check out the YouTube link! Loki is a 5-month-old snuggly, spunky happy boy with a sweet demeanor. He has a gentle, quiet demeanor while still being playful. Loki walks very well on a leash and is excited explore the outside world now that he has had all of his vetting. Loki loves car rides. Loki warms up fast to strangers. Loki was one of 7 puppies rescued from a bad situation (read more below) and Loki is the gentlest of them all! Loki is crate trained and sleeps all night with no accidents. House training is coming along great! Loki is very likeable with other dogs and is currently being fostered in a home with multiple dogs where he is already a class favorite! Loki's big ears remind us of a pointer (Mom was definitely a pointer mix) but it's clear he is a classic Heinz 57...a little bit of everything! Loki is 5 months old and weighs ~40 lbs. Loki has not been around small children yet however Loki has not shown us any signs he wouldn't do well with children who are respectful of dogs! History: Life for Loki started out quite ruff. Loki was found by a partner of our rescue with his 7 siblings and Mom in a back yard in Texas.

Sweet Loki is currently blossoming in his current foster home in Redmond, WA but Loki can travel to Oregon and British Columbia for his PAWfect FURever home! Loki's adoption fee is $550 and includes out of state transportation, vaccinations, neuter and microchip. 100% of the adoption fee goes to Loki's care.

Story
Molly was found as a stray in San Antonio. She is now in a Seattle area foster home with a mom, dad, 2 teens and a senior dog. ***she is able to catch a ride up north if her forever home is found in Canada:) Molly looks like a baby giraffe! She's tall and lean. We think she is part great dane with maybe some lab and pitbull mixed in:) She LOVES people, including kids. She seems to be afraid of dogs at first, especially obnoxious ones. She's slow to warm to large dogs, however, she's becoming more confident every day in foster care. She loves the small dog in her foster home although he's not impressed with her. She takes it all in stride and will seek him out to cuddle. She does great meeting people out and about and enjoys going on errands. Her foster mom has taken her to training and she has great obedience. She's great at place! Molly is motivated by food and even likes broccoli and cauliflower...check out her YouTube link for proof!! Molly is about 18 months old, is potty trained and crate trained. She walks well on leash and loves to hang out with her people. Her adoption fee is $550 and includes her transport, vaccinations, spay and microchip. 100% of the fee goes to her care. Please contact Karin at karinkeith@hotmail.com for more information.

Story
Hello, my name is Peter.  My son Francis and I are bonded at the hip and we will only be adopted together.  I am a little over 4 years old so you might say I was a teenage dad.  I am a happy boy, friendly with people, and love to hang out in the sun with my boy, as you can see from the pictures.  We both have fluffy tails, btw.  Peter and Francis will need a Brittany experienced family who will continue to work with them on manners and house rules.  They could both use some leash work also but they are eager to please and should learn quickly.  As with any Brittanys, these boys need daily exercise like multiple walks or running.   They will need a home with a good-sized yard with a secure 6- foot physical fence.  These boys are so eager to find their forever home together where they will give you years of love and affection. Peter is neutered, current on his vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped.  He and Francis will do fine in a home without kids, or in a home with older, responsible kids.  They will not be adopted to a home with cats.  The combined adoption fee for Peter and Francis is $750.00.  If you are interested in making Peter and Francis members of your family, please visit www.nbran.org and complete the on-line application found under the Adopt tab.  Once the application has been completed, you will be contacted by your state coordinator.  A phone interview, home visit and vet check will be required as part of the approval process.   Please realize that all our dogs are placed in the most appropriate home for their individual needs.  We do not operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Peter and Francis are eligible for our canine railroad and can be transported up to 1400 miles from LA with the last leg (100) being driven by the adopter.  April 24, 2024, 2:05 pm

Story
Reggie is a Brittany-pointer mix who has energy to spare when outside and an almost unbelievable off-switch in the home.  Indeed, Reggie is a sweet, loving lap dog in a large body.    Reggie needs a home where he can live indoors with the family and be showered with love. Reggie needs a home with a large yard and a secure, 6-foot high fence so he can safely run and hunt squirrels.  He is a great running companion and would do best in a home where he would be able to run with his owner every day.  Preference will be given to adopters with sporting dog experience who understand the energy needs and running tendencies of these dogs.  Reggie also needs a home where the owner/s either work from home or are retired.  He has been through a lot in his life and he has some separation anxiety and is currently on Prozac for his SA. It is clear Reggie came from a home where he was badly abused and that history has left him with a few reactive behaviors.  While he does well on leased walks, he does not respond well when being led or grabbed by the collar.  He also will periodically cower if you try to step over him or he is surprised.  He does not get aggressive but freezes with fear.  This behavior is slowly disappearing as his foster family works with him and builds his confidence.  Because of his abuse history, Reggie needs a very patient family that can help to continue to build his confidence.  Reggie will only be adopted to a home with no children.  Because Reggie is anxious about where he sits in the pack he will do best as the only dog in his new home although he does do well at doggy daycare playing with other dogs.  Reggie is UTD on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped.  His adoption fee will be $350 to offset his vetting and to allow NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.  If interested in making Reggie a member of your family, please complete the on-line application by visiting www.NBRAN.org (under the Adopt tab).   Once your application has been completed, you will be contacted by your state coordinator.  A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process.  Please realize that all our dogs are placed in the most appropriate home for their individual needs.  We do not operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reggie is eligible for our canine railroad and can be transported up to 1400 miles from LA with the last leg (100) being driven by the adopter.   April 24, 2024, 2:05 pm
