Story

Hi I’m Sammy! I’m a one year old mix of Pomeranian, Chihuahua, and American Eskimo Dog! Playing fetch with my ball is my favorite! Ask me to bring you a toy and I’ll bring it!! Sammy is a wonderful dog, super sweet and lovable, potty trained, crate trained, harness trained, and knows a few tricks! I got her from a friend when she was 8 months old. All she wants to do is play, sadly we have an older dog and cats and they don’t get along. She doesn’t really like other dogs too much needs to warm up to them, but she loves cats they just don’t like her! She needs someone who has time for her. Has a lot of energy so she’d be perfect for an active life style! She doesn’t like to be left alone for too long, sometimes struggles to be held, she gets anxious. She is okay at the vet! Does not like the groomers at all! Please serious inquiries only. It is breaking my familys heart to have to rehome her but she deserves a home where she can be top dog!

Story

Nash is a 2.5 year old pure bred American bully (neutered). He is 82 lbs, but he thinks he is 20!! Nash is such an amazing dog and our hearts are broken that we need to rehome him. He is super cuddly and knows all of his basic commands. He has his CGC and CGCA certifications. Even though Nash knows all his commands he is a very stubborn dog and likes to do things on his own schedule or for treats. Nash is an excellent walking buddy and does not pull on a leash at all. He does love a good walk but is just as happy spending the day on the couch. The reason we are rehoming him is because about 9 months ago him and our older dog started fighting. They have gone after each other multiple times and have given each other significant injuries. We now only have one dog out at a time and they do not interact with each other. This has become very challenging as we just had a baby 5 months ago. We can’t risk a fight between the dogs with a baby in the house.

Story

Pink noseHI! My name is Anna. Not from FROZEN, even though it sure looks and feels like it outside. I am a sweet southern lady who is looking for her furever home. I am only 9 months young. Me and my sister found ourselves without our hoodad and NBRAN was nice to take us both in since we are part Brittany from our mom, and our furdad was a lab. I have the best foster mom who has been working with me since I’m still a puppy. She has crate and potty trained me. She is teaching me to walk on a leash. When we go for a walk, I like to talk to people, dogs and cats and tell them hi! I will need a physical fence of at least 4 feet. I have been spayed and UTD on all my shots and HW preventative. I love to cuddle and snuggle on the couch. I will also give you plenty of smooches! My favorite activities are running, chasing balls, and watching the birds and squirrels. I have played with a variety of dogs and get along with them. Me and sister Elsa are not bonded, and we would prefer to have our own family! If you think I would be a good fit for each other, please contact www.nbran.org to submit an application. My adoption fee is 350.00 I am currently located in Georgia however, if you would love to make me a part of your family, NBRAN will transport up to 1400 miles. If any questions please contact neca227@gmail.com or amypgay@gmail.com or karliebreana@gmail.comJanuary 12, 2025, 12:39 am
