Story
Our foster dog, who we lovingly call "Hank", was found at a construction site in Clinton, MS. We walked him around the surrounding neighborhoods but no one had seen him before. At our vet, we found out he didn't have a microchip either. After posting on local Lost&Found Facebook groups we reached out to shelters but none had room to take him in. That was mid-December and now we're quickly approaching February. Our current dog is not a fan of Hank's--not his fault, she's just a drama queen. But the main reason we can't keep Hank is because we both work full-time and do not have the time or resources to train and give him a healthy and active life. With us he's having to be kenneled for a good bit of the day. He loves the outdoors and he just wants to run around and have fun all day. He will be neutered and vaccinated this Friday, Jan 31st and ready to go home with his forever family soon after!

Story
Penny is a 19 month old Brittany/Hound mix. She is UTD on vaccines, microchipped, Heartworm negative and on preventative.  She minds her foster mom really well and has great recall. Penny knows the command sit and is working on stay. She is not very vocal and does not bark much. She loves running in the yard and is good with other dogs. Penny loves her toys and she also loves treats. Penny is a very healthy girl. Penny's foster mom says she is not destructive and loves to lounge in her dog bed. Because she gets overly excited, Penny jumps on people, but her foster mom is working with her.  Because of her jumping, Penny will not be a good fit for a home with small children.  Penny is being fostered in Tennessee. Her adoption fee is $325.00 and can be transported up to 1400 miles via our Canine Railroad with the adopter taking the last leg, usually less than 100 miles.  Applications for Penny can be found on www.nbran.org.  For more information, email dltuthill@epbfi.com or ztasuzanne@gmail.com.  November 4, 2024, 9:17 pm

Story
Double the Fun: Meet Jack & Sissy! Howdy, friends! I’m Jack Mac, a 49 lb orange and white Brittany boy, and I never go anywhere without my sister and best buddy, Sissy. We’re a bonded pair, which means you get double the love, double the fun, and double the cuddles! Why We’re Your Perfect Pair: I’m the Toy King: I love carrying my toys everywhere—it’s my thing! Fetch? Yes, please. Tug? You got it. Sissy might try to steal my toys, but I let her because I’m a gentleman. Cuddle Masters: Sissy and I are expert snugglers. If you’re sitting down, expect both of us to climb into your lap for all the love—and maybe a nap or two. Critter Patrol Experts: With a fenced yard, we’ll chase all the squirrels, birds, and leaves to keep your yard safe from boredom. Good with Everyone: Cats? Cool. Kids? Love them. Dogs? Bring it on. We’re a social pair who love making friends. Fun Facts About Me (Jack): I’m housebroken and crate trained (as long as I can see my sister—it’s a package deal!). I’m working on my leash manners, but hey, who doesn’t like a challenge? I know commands like sit, stay, come, and even “easy” (whatever that means, I’m just naturally cool). If you’re looking for a pair of loving, playful, and goofy pups, Jack & Sissy are ready to fill your home with laughter, love, and a whole lot of tail wags! &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 The adoption fee for TX/Jack Mac, who lives in Sanger, TX  is $400,  which helps to offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.  If you are interested in making TX/Jack  part of your family, please complete the online application by visiting www.nbran.org .  Contact the South Central Region Coordinators Melinde Waddle at macgammy@gmail.com  and/or Chris Wagoner at cwnbran@gmail.com and/or Nancy Walker at nwalker@capecod.net  and then let your state coordinator know so we can get the ball rolling.  A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process by your state coordinator, before talking to the foster of Jack.  Transportation can be arranged up 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.  January 23, 2025, 3:55 pm

Story
Meet Betty Sue: The Confident, Blanket-Loving Queen! Betty Sue is one-of-a-kind—a confident, adaptable pup who marches to the beat of her own drum. She settles into new places quickly, isn’t fazed by loud noises, chaos, or high-energy environments, and loves blankets (seriously, she’s a blanket connoisseur!). (11 yrs old, 30 lbs of lovable orange/white spayed Brittany.  UTD on vaccines, HW/Tick Neg and on prevention.  Just had a dental and had 12 teeth pulled, and she never missed a beat. Does have some cataracts, but can see and enjoy life. Not on any meds.  Healthy. Housebroken.) Why You’ll Love Betty Sue: &#226&#156&#148 Confident & Fearless – New places? No problem. Loud noises? Whatever. This girl is ready to take on the world! &#226&#156&#148 Affectionate (On Her Terms) – Loves a good cuddle session but also respects your personal space. &#226&#156&#148 Dog & Kid Friendly – Gets along well with other dogs and children, making her a great family pup. &#226&#156&#148 Vocalizes – Happy funny noises.  &#226&#156&#148 A Total Blanket Enthusiast – If it’s soft and cozy, she’s claiming it. Her Quirky Side (AKA Areas for Growth ): Lacks Manners (or Thinks She’s Royalty?) – Betty Sue may believe the world revolves around her. She’s an opportunist, meaning if she sees a chance to grab something off the counter… she just might. Curious & Bold – She’s got a strong independent streak, which means she might test some boundaries (but hey, that’s part of her charm!). Final Thoughts: Betty Sue is a fun, confident, and loving girl who would thrive in a home where she can be both adored and kept in check (because let’s face it, she runs the show). She’s a great representation of her breed, with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Are you ready for this sassy, blanket-loving queen to rule your home? The adoption fee for OK/Betty Sue, who lives in Tulsa, OK  is $250,  which helps to offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.  If you are interested in making OK/Betty Sue  part of your family, please complete the online application by visiting www.nbran.org .  Contact the South Central Region Coordinators Melinde Waddle at macgammy@gmail.com  and/or Chris Wagoner at cwnbran@gmail.com and/or Nancy Walker at nwalker@capecod.net  and then let your state coordinator know so we can get the ball rolling.  A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process by your state coordinator, before talking to the foster of Betty Sue.  Transportation can be arranged up 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.  January 29, 2025, 4:29 pm

Story
Fitzgerald came to us as an owner surrender. It wasn’t that his family didn’t love him, they definitely did. But Fitzgerald’s human sister had severe allergies that couldn’t be controlled and his family had to make the heartbreaking decision to give him up. Fitz would do best in a home without young children or other pets. He is an affectionate, loyal dog once he warms up to you. But he needs a structured home and a savvy adopter, experienced with his breed, that is willing to work with him. He is so much fun and loves to explore and to play.
