My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi. My name is Pete. I'm a 4-year-old, orange and white Brittany who was born with cataracts in both eyes, then I went blind.

When I was blind, I engaged in compulsive repetitive behaviors, such as spinning, barking, and pica (eating non-food items). The surgery was successful and I can see again. As a result, I acquired an additional compulsive behavior; eyeing light and shadows. Fortunately, with the help of medication, all these compulsive behaviors have improved a great deal, with the exception of pica.

My favorite toy is a black Kong. My foster mom gave it to me because I can't bite through it. I love to fetch and retrieve and could do so all day long.

Being able to see is such a blessing

If I have difficulty finding my Kong when it bounces to a hidden place, I'm good at a game called Hot and Cold. I respond well to the command " leave it!" when I find something I want to put in my mouth. I also respond well to the command "drop!" after an object is already in my mouth.

I weigh 35 lb and like to stay active. Since I like to move around a lot, perhaps one day my foster mom could teach me how to wiggle my tush to " Nothing But a Hound Dog."

I'm not a picky eater and will swallow anything I put in my mouth. That is why I cannot be left alone unsupervised because I swallow things that I shouldn't. When I am anxious, white noise helps me to stay calm and focused.

I do not get along with other dogs and probably not cats. As for children, I don't know how well I would get along with them because I haven't really been exposed to them.

I walk well on a leash and have perfect recall. I'm up to date on all my vaccines and I am in good health. However, I require eye drops everyday once per day.

I love to ride in the car and watch the world go by. I want to please and will do anything I'm asked. Despite my pica, I am a happy dog and when I'm tired I will sit and cuddle on my foster mom's lap.

I'm very thankful for all the care I have received. It has been done with devotion by the people at nbran.

I hope that soon I will be in a permanent home with a loving family.

I will need eye drops for life, and I really don't mind them. My foster mother tells me "Chin." This reminds me to rest my head in her hand so she can put the drops in my eyes.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Each adopter must complete an application on our website at www.nbran.org. A volunteer will contact you and work with you to find the perfect fit for your family and the brittany. A homevisit is required, as this is the only way we can be sure the right dog is being placed with you. Once the right brittany has been found, we will help transport him we only ask the adopting family to drive the last leg if it is a long distance adoption.

More about this rescue

National Brittany Rescue and Adoption Network (NBRAN), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is a network of caring and dedicated volunteers who have a deep passion for dog rescue and specifically the homeless Brittany, affectionately called a "Britt."

Once called "the Brittany Spaniel," the AKC has officially changed their breed name to "the American Brittany." A Brittany retains a puppy-like quality in their personality and are gentle, clownish, active dogs. They are great family dogs.

The number of dogs available for adoption varies from month to month. .
