Figge, pronounced FIG. Also affectionately known as Figge Newton. Figge is a 1 1/2 year old, 45 pound, orange and white, neutered, purebred Brittany with a long tail.
His young spirit requires an active family that will meet his high energy, desire to exercise, and love for fun. Figge is squirrel obsessed! Chase them, dart after them, and even clear a 5ft fence if he has the chance. Figge's yard MUST BE a 6ft fence, iron, cinder block, or a townhome with no fence would be preferred. This youngster is very athletic and most certainly will keep you on your toes! But, what young Brittany doesn't? What does this mean? Figge needs lots of exercise and someone committed to his future training.
After his physical needs are met, he is Mr. Chill. He is one of the mushiest Britts you will ever meet. Figge is extremely affectionate and loves everyone. He is happy to sit on the couch with you while you read, lay in bed and watch Netflix or just cuddle. He adores the teenagers at his foster family and would love kids of his own, that are older and considerate. His spunky nature could easily knock over a young child, so the preference is 10 years and up. Figge is such a good boy!
Figge needs another dog in the home. He does not care what breed, but his future sibling must be able to match his energy and play style. He has learned basic commands like sit, wait, down, and even shake. He is a fast learner and would make a great companion for obedience or agility. He is so smart and ready for his next adventure with his forever people.
He rides great in the car, is potty trained, crate trained and is pretty good on the leash. He acts like a Walmart greeter when out walking, as he loves to say HI! to all dogs and humans. Since he is a youngster, still in the chew phase, he is only crated when the foster family leaves the house as he is not 100% trustworthy with toys yet. Figge can only have indestructible toys like Kongs, Goughtnuts, Westpaw, Tuffy, hard rubber ChuckIt balls and supervised puzzle games. He loves ice cubes and will come running to the kitchen when he hears the dispenser.
The adoption fee for Figge, who lives in Highlands Ranch, CO is $400, which helps offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members. If you are interested in making Figge a part of your family, please complete the on-line application by visiting www.nbran.org .
Your state coordinator/volunteer will conduct a phone interview, home visit and vet check as part of the approval process. Once all 3 have been approved, we will begin the matching process.
Transportation can be arranged up 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.
