Story
Sweet Abby is sugar, spice, and everything nice. A perfect recipe of pure preciousness, she is a 5 year (DOB 3/30/2021-exact) orange and white female spayed purebred Brittany. Abby is up to date on all vaccines and a bonafide lovebug. Even though Abby needs a little weight loss, 65 lbs. is not her ideal weight, she is still remarkably close to perfection. Other than some excess weight, Abby is healthy. Abby is calm, eager to please, and extremely affectionate. She had been with her owners since she was a puppy, but unfortunately, one of the owners was having health issues and it was discovered she was allergic to dogs. Abby is housetrained, crate trained and has great house manners. She is very laid back and friendly to adults, as well as children. Abby loves to take rides in the car and will be your best friend. She is not extremely active and has a submissive personality. She is good with both dogs and cats. Because Abby is extremely food motivated, she will need help on her weight loss journey. According to Abby’s foster dad, she is a perfect candidate for an invisible fence. She pulls a little when walking on a leash, but nothing extreme. She enjoys walks with her foster dad and foster fur sibling multiple times a week. As a matter of fact, she has lost some weight over the brief time she has been at her foster home. With food portion management and regular exercise, Abby will be at an ideal weight in no time. Are you looking for a wonderful adult Brittany to join your family? Abby is your gal! Abby’s adoption fee is $350, and she is being fostered in middle north Tennessee. Just a reminder that NBRAN will transport adopted dogs to their approved homes up to 1400 miles, with the adopter being responsible for the last approximately 100 miles. If you are interested in adopting Abby, please contact Suzanne Horsley ztasuzanne@gmail.com  OR Debbie Tuthill agilitybrits@gmail.comJuly 21, 2026, 4:42 pm

Story
Meet Chicken, Banana & Raisin! Who names puppies Chicken, Banana, and Raisin? We do...and somehow it fits these goofy little characters perfectly! The funniest part? Our mama is a beautiful medium-sized brown and white Basenji-looking mix. As for Dad...your guess is as good as ours! He may have had some Catahoula Leopard Dog in him, or maybe he was a bully breed. Honestly, we have no idea! Judging by our stocky little builds and unique coloring, either guess seems possible—but whatever he was, he helped make us pretty adorable. We're a hilarious bunch with the cutest little barks you've ever heard. We love to "talk" to our people, chat with the other dogs, and narrate every wrestling match like tiny sports commentators. Life is one big adventure, and we're here for all of it! When we're not zooming around or tumbling over each other, you'll find us tripping over giant stuffed toys that are somehow bigger than we are. We may not have mastered grace yet, but we've definitely mastered being adorable. If you're looking for a puppy that will keep you laughing, shower you with love, and fill your home with happy tail wags and silly antics, one of us is ready to be your new best friend. But fair warning—we're ridiculously cute, so we probably won't be available for long! Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)
