Story
Bo is an 8-month-old male Black Lab who must be neutered before adoption.  He is an owner turn in because his owners had a change in their life style and could no longer take care of him.  Bo is such a handsome guy--solid black with just a tiny bit of white on his chest.  He weighs 53 pounds so he is considered to be a large dog.  Bo is sweet as can be--gets along with everyone--including children and other dogs.  He is active and frisky like all Labs.  Bo would love to have a fenced yard where he could safely play.  He is house trained and leash trained.  'Bo Knows' that he is a magnificent fellow who is going to make some adopter the best friend ever!Dog/puppy adoption fees are $100.  Cat/kitten adoption fees are $50.  May 8, 2025, 8:43 pm

Story
Sassy is an 1-year-old female Chocolate Lab mix who must be spayed before adoption.  She is a stray who was found out in the county and no owner came to claim her.  Sassy has an unusual looking chocolate coat that has flecks of gold highlights; and she is pretty!  She currently weighs 30 pounds so she is a medium sized young adult dog. Sassy has a sweet little personality; and she is just fine with other dogs and children.  She is a frisky little miss who loves to play and needs a nice fenced yard where she can romp.  Sassy is a super nice young dog who is ready for a family to love her!  Could it be your family she needs?Dog/puppy adoption fees are $100.  Cat/kitten adoption fees are $50.  May 8, 2025, 9:05 pm

Story
Meet Axel, a 7 1/2 year old purebred orange & white male brittany.  Axel loves other dogs & kids, but definitely no cats. He has a high prey drive and needs a steady job.  He would love the opportunity to hunt.  He is not gun shy and has excellent recall.   He must have a home with a lot of land. A working farm would be perfect for him.  He needs a lot of daily exercise and to be kept busy.  Axel is an escape artist and requires a privacy fence of at least 6' high.  He is an expert at escaping and considers it a great game.  Since he does have great recall, he comes back once called. However, he must be supervised when he's outside. This is why a lot of land, and away from roads, is important.  Axel is well socialized and will do anything you ask of him. He is very sweet, but driven and needs an outlet for his energy. He loves to be outside and is very goofy.  Like most bird dogs, he is not great on a leash, but does excellent on a long lead.  He is crate trained and should be crated when left alone.  He tends to get into mischief, especially if not highly exercised. Axel is neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. He is located in northwestern GA and is available for transport up to 1400 miles, with the adopter driving the last 100 miles to pick him up.  His adoption fee is $350.  If you are interested in adopting Axel, please submit an adoption application at www.nbran.org and mention his name. Also, feel free to reach out to jessica@thesouthernway.com with any questions.May 8, 2025, 8:42 pm
