Story
My adult son and I rescued Ruby from the county shelter December 1, 2023. I had been without a dog 2 yrs and hoped for a walking/home companion. I do not have a backyard, and she deserves one. Desperately. . She walked on a leash easily for everyone at first, not reacting to other dogs or small animals. We all grew attached to her quickly and vice versa. However, the more attached and protective she became with us, the more aggression and leash pulling she engaged in. Socialization with other dogs has been too difficult. We have taken her everywhere we go (she loves car rides seatbelted) but I cannot control her on her leash. I have had ribs broken, sprained wrist from her pulling me into the ground. I now have a mean strap burn on my ankle from her pulling. My son moved out this week and is unable to take her where he is. I completely understand that I need training myself. But without my son here I can’t do it. I adore her, and this is so painful. But it’s best for her.

IMPORTANT!! Due to time and staffing constraints, ALL inquiries/questions MUST BE accompanied by your completed Adoption Application (Matchmaking Questionnaire). See above for the link to the form. Any inquiries/questions sent without the completed form will NOT receive a response. Thank You for understanding. Affectionate "special needs" Ginger is 4 years old and in search of a loving home that is as special as she is. Ginger had a rough start in life and for the first year of her puppyhood she was strictly confined in a tiny crate with only a few potty breaks. As a result, she suffers from claustrophobia and is terrified of leashes. Despite all this, Ginger is a loving and friendly girl who likes nothing better than to jump up on your lap for a tummy rub, or sit beside you on the couch watching TV. She also loves sleeping in bed with you. She likes toys and chew bones and running around out in the back yard. Ginger is good with other pets and us perfectly potty trained. She uses the doggie door and never makes a mess. Ginger would be the ideal companion for someone who doesn't take their dog for a walk and just wants a friendly and loving pet to be their best friend. Her adoption fee is $125 and includes her spay and all shots.

Story
Juliet is an adorable, affectionate, 4 year-old who has spent her whole life with her biological family.  She is currently hanging out with Peter, the dad, and their three kids - Damian, Francis, and Reah.  She loves to play and run with them.  Because she is used to being with her family, she would do best if she were adopted into a home with another dog to play with.  She either needs a member of her actual family or a male dog.  Juliet could also be adopted with her daughter Reah but otherwise does not do well with other female dogs.   Juliet will need continued training and working on her manners.  She will need daily exercise with her new family as well as lots of love, confidence-building, and attention.  She needs a home with a reasonable-sized yard with a secure 6-foot physical fence.   Juliet is spayed, current on her vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped.  She  will do fine in a home without kids, or in a home with older, responsible kids.  She will not be adopted to a home with cats.  Juliet’s adoption fee is $400.00.  If you are interested in making Juliet a member 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. Juliet 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.    November 1, 2024, 7:10 pm

Brittany Border Collie

Female, Senior
Glendale, AZ

(when grown) -
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Nelli (or Nelli Belly) is a sweet, spayed ,10-year-old female who enjoys daily walks, playing fetch, and car rides.   Nelli’s mom was a Brittany but she takes after her Border Collie dad in size (48 pounds) and looks.  Nelli’s new family should be active and prepared to commit to throwing a ball for her and including her in their activities.   She is quite agile and energetic and will need a home with a yard secured by a  6-foot fence.  She is house trained, knows several commands, and is good with guests. Nelli is currently living with a foster family that includes two adults and an older male Brittany. Nelli is well-behaved and has been left loose in the house with no problems. She keeps tabs on her people and likes to lay by her foster mom’s chair when she works from home. Ideally her family would be home more often than not, perhaps retired or working remotely. Other dogs may be ok as long as they aren’t too alpha.  Nelli would love to have a dog to play with who understands and accepts her vocalizing while playing.  Nelli’s experience with cats is unknown.  Her behavior around children is also not known, although her foster family suggests she would be best in a home with active adults that could include older children. Nelli is spayed, current on her vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped.  Nelli’s adoption fee is $175.00 which helps to offset our vetting and allow NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.  If you are interested in making Nelli a member of your family, please visit www.nbran.org and complete the on-line adoption application form under the Adopt tab.  Once the application has been reviewed, 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.   Nelli is eligible to be transported through our canine railroad up to 1400 miles from Boise with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.November 1, 2024, 7:10 pm
