Story
Bane is 4 years old. Has been getting more aggressive toward our children so absolutely no children should be near him. He is fine with adults. Does not like smaller dogs or puppies. He did get along very well with our cat for years before she passed. He needs to go with someone that is familiar with Corso behavior. He does get stinky and does not mind to be sprayed down with the hose but does not like his feet or legs touched.

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.  July 14, 2024, 10:08 pm

Story
Please contact Suzanne (ztasuzanne@gmail.com) for more information about this pet. Take a look at this handsome boy! Max is a 2 year old orange roan 37 lb purebred male French Brittany. Max is neutered, heartworm negative and is UTD on his vaccines. He was surrendered by a French Brittany Breeder in Northeast Tennessee and is being fostered in the Memphis, Tn area. He is housetrained, crate trained and walks fairly well on a leash (his leash skills need some fine tuning). Max is eager to please but he is initially very timid and skittish. Once he warms up, he is a lovebug. He is more skittish of men than women. Max needs a patient home that understands he is cautious and slow to trust. He is startled easily by loud noises. Max is such a good boy, but in typical Brittany fashion has been caught counter surfing on occasion. Being only 2 years of age, Max still has lots of puppy tendencies like chewing. He is moderately active and sometimes prefers to be napping on the couch while his Brittany foster brother and sisters are outside pointing and chasing anything that flies. He has not been witnessed digging or trying to escape, but he sure can jump. Because of this, Max will need a 6 foot physical fence. Max is not a candidate for an invisible fence. Once Max trusts you, he will be your shadow and quickly becomes a lapdog! He is food motivated but not food aggressive. After watching him interact with his foster pack, his foster mom and dad feel he will need a doggie furbrother or fursister in his new home. It seems to make him more secure. Max will be a great pet for the right family. Max's adoption fee is $400. This adoption fee helps cover the costs of vaccines, medical incidentals and spay/neuter. Don't forget, NBRAN will transport adopted Brittanys up to 1400 miles with the adopter only being responsible for the last approximately 100 miles. If you would like to learn more about Max, please submit an adoption application by clicking this link https://nbran.org/adopt/adoption-application and contact Tennessee State Coordinators Suzanne Horsley ztasuzanne@gmail.com OR Debbie Tuthill      Agilitybrits@epbfi.com            July 11, 2024, 1:47 pm

Story
WOW! What a beautiful boy! Willet  is an orange roan 30 lb. neutered male Brittany born 4-17-23 and is AKC Registerable. He is heartworm negative and up to date on all vaccines.  He will be due vaccines again in July 2024.  In the Southern Summer heat, he has learned to enjoy cold ice cubes and loves them! Willet is housetrained and extremely affectionate. Even though Willet is affectionate and even tempered, he will only be adopted to a home with older considerate children. He has never bitten a child, but younger children make him nervous. Willet wants to be by your side constantly, but he also loves to be outside investigating.  His foster mom crates him when he is left at home alone and when he sleeps at night. He likes to speak, but he doesn't just bark for the heck of it!  In his previous home, Little Willet had to have surgery because he chewed up and ingested a blanket. He will do best, at least initially, with no bedding or plush toys which he can ingest. Willet's foster mom calls Willet is a snuggle bug! This smart boy has had some obedience training and knows basic commands. His foster mom is working on other commands. Willet came from a loving home and is very well socialized. Do you think your home is the perfect home for Willet?  Submit an adoption application at https://nbran.org/adopt/adoption-application Willet's adoption fee is $400 to offset vetting and allow NBRAN to keep rescuing Brittanys.  For more information reach out to Suzanne Horsley ztasuzanne@gmail.com or Debbie Tuthill agilitybrits@epbfi.com  July 14, 2024, 10:08 pm

Rudy

Border Collie

Male, 4 yrs 3 mos
London, ON
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rudy is a handsome Border Collie. If you are looking for an Agility dog he would be perfect. Recalls are great, and he just wants to be near his human. Bonds quickly. Loves to herd everything (typical border collie), and playing with balls. Does well on playdates so a submissive dog would be fine for him. Does become very curious when he sees other dogs on his walks and wants to meet them. Can become protective of his crate and food when another dog gets near it. Fine with his humans. Well out out of your hand gently, gives kisses and sit in your lap. No small children since he will herd them up and possibly knock them down when playing. Fenced in yard and someone who is active to keep Rudy's mind and body busy would be the ideal friend/family.
