Meet Sabrina!

Sabrina is a tiny 9.5-pound sweetheart, estimated to be around a year old. She’s sweet, quiet and a little timid while she settles in and learns that the world isn’t such a scary place.

She’s still working on her leash skills, but give this girl a yard and she LOVES to run and play! For now, Sabrina is taking some time to decompress, build her confidence and show us more of her personality.

She’s already proving to be one pretty great little gal.

Sabrina is staying with Meghan in Ulysses, PA.

Meet Brittany a sweet, gentle, and adorable 7 year old female Brittany mix currently in a great foster home in Eastern PA, whose dreaming of a Forever Home!
Brittany came to NBRAN after a rural shelter in Tennessee tried unsuccessfully to find her owners.
Brittany is a gentle, easygoing girl who gets along wonderfully with adults, children, and other dogs. Cats are unknown. She is especially patient with young children and has a very submissive temperament. She loves being around her people and is happiest when she can curl up nearby for a nap or enjoy some pets and snuggles.
Unlike many Brittanys, Brittany is a relatively low-energy dog who doesn’t require a ton of exercise or activity to be content. She enjoys leisurely walks and spending time with her family, but is just as happy relaxing around the house. She hasn’t shown much interest in toys or chew bones, as she prefers human companionship instead.
Brittany is house trained, walks nicely on a leash, and sleeps soundly through the night in her crate. She has adjusted well to her foster family’s routine and is a wonderful companion around the house.
Like many rescue dogs, Brittany does have a few things she’s working on. She does experience separation anxiety and will need to be crated when left home alone. She also occasionally mouths when she gets excited. Her foster family has been working with her on this behavior, and she has already made good progress, although continued reinforcement will be important.
Brittany’s ideal forever home would be one where someone is home much of the day, such as a family with a work-from-home schedule or retirees looking for a loving companion. Because she thrives on being near her people and struggles with being left alone, she would not be the best fit for a household where everyone is away for long stretches each day.
Brittany has so much love to give and is truly a wonderful, gentle companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate dog who will happily keep you company throughout the day, Brittany may be the perfect addition to your family!
Brittany is spayed, current on vaccines, heartworm negative, on prevention and microchipped. Additionally, like many older dogs, Brittany also has a small lipoma on her rear leg, which may need removed if it becomes bothersome to her. Brittany's adoption fee is 350.00 which will help NBRAN cover the vetting costs and other expenses associated with bringing Brits like Brittany back to good health and readying them for adoption.
If you’re ready to consider making Brittany part of your family, please submit an adoption application here: https://nbran.org/adopt/adoption-application Once your application is submitted the coordinator in the State where you reside will follow-up with you. Need to reach your State Coordinator, find their contact information here https://nbran.org/about/state-provincial-coordinators Don't live in PA or close by, No Problem! NBRAN also has a wonderful transport team willing to help bring Brits like Brittany to their new family, up to 1400 miles with the adoptive family being responsible for the last 100 miles, at no additional fee.

EASY KEEPER BESTIE! What does that mean?

THE DOBIE GREY

Allow me to explain what I mean.

Hey Everyone, I’m Bear a very handsome active and full of life 10 year old Liver & White neutered male searching for the right place to call Home Forever!
Right now, I’m enjoying the good life in a great foster home here in Northeast Ohio where I get to run and play with my 2 furry foster bros. I also get plenty of cuddles and lap time with my foster Mom, who thinks I’m just the smartest most wonderful boy around! Don’t be fooled by age either, as I’m no cough potato and act way younger then my age.
And speaking of smart, I know how to sit, stay, high five, down and go over. I’m a good boy and know not to destroy anything, even though I love toys especially the ones that squeak.

Greetings, Humans! I'm Hank Jr!

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Hank, a dashing 18-month-old French Brittany with movie-star looks, a comedian's timing, and ears expertly designed for maximum adorability.

At a lean and athletic 30 pounds, I'm the perfect size for adventures, couch cuddles, and showing off my zoomies in a fenced backyard. Everyone tells me I'm handsome, but I try to stay humble. (It's difficult when you're this cute.)

Miss Bella is a lovely lady who is estimated to be between 10-12 years old weighing about 27lbs. Even though Bella is a senior, she does need her daily walk. She is currently walking 1-2 miles daily, after which she is content to sleep and relax the rest of the day. She is a love sponge and will happily accept your pets and if you’re lucky some couch cuddles. She is good with other dogs in the home and would do well with a playmate, but she would also love to be the apple of your eye having your undivided attention during her golden years.

Regina AKA Reggie was born around February 27 2019 and weighs about 45 pounds. Reggie is with us because her human could no longer care for her. Reggie is an absolute doll and we all fell in love with her instantly. Reggie gets along well with other dogs, cats, and kids of all ages. She loves walks and is wonderful on leash. She is house trained and affectionate. Her favorite thing in the whole world is snacks/food and snuggling with her humans!

Some nuances that we've learned about Reggie in foster care:

Jax was born around April 15 2017 and weighs about 55 pounds. Jax is with us because his owner could no longer care for him. Jax rides well in the car and walks ok on a leash. Jax has been around children of all ages, cats, and dogs and does well with everyone. Jax has a lot of energy and is very smart! We will be looking for a home that can meet both his mental and physical exercise needs since his world is fast and fun! He is a smart boy and learned the dog door quickly, but for some reason he thought he had to BURST through it instead of walk. It's just how Jax rolls and he surely doesn't act his age. He has learned how to swim and LOVES it even though he is still a bit splashy with his front legs. He is a very funny boy. We've also discovered that he loves to play fetch and does bring the toy or ball back for you to throw again. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $450.00

Ricky Ras was born about January 26, 2025 and weighs about 10 lbs. When a dog comes into Rochester Animal Services in poor condition or has a potential behavior issue they deem the dog "Rescue Only" and when I saw this sad looking soul come through in an email saying second request and time was running out I felt the urge to offer him a soft place to fall. It was wonderful that a RAS volunteer met me in Dansville for the tradeoff. The story goes that Ricky had been on the run in the CITY of Rochester for some time and terribly fear protective and had to be caught with a net!!! I can't imagine how frightened he was and he was acting badly upon entry to the shelter. There are notes that within 2 days he was "eating well, shy but not aggressive" so he was settling. The poor little guy had fleas so bad there was hair loss and a very itchy secondary bacterial infection and several nasty mats. This would make most of us a little snarky! He came here a couple weeks later and was easy to handle upon being removed from his transport crate. He did ride well in the car on the two hour trip not making a peep. He is doing very well with the other dogs here. House training seems to be doing well and he has learned to use the dog door. With any of these small dogs floor potty pads being available just makes life easier. He has been fine with us humans but we've given him space and time - he's been through A LOT! He did nip his foster Dad as he was picking him up to go to the vet to be neutered. Is it possible he knew where he was going and for what??? Well, this was quite the story and as he continues to heal both physically and emotionally, we look forward to an application from someone willing to give him a forever home where nothing bad will ever happen again. Update: Ricky has grown a GORGEOUS fluffy, wavey, coat of fur and enjoys being brushed. He particularly loves one person here and shows her just how much love and affection he has been starved of for however long we've no clue. When picked up and held against her chest he licks her neck, snuggles in, and wiggles and wags - ADORABLE for someone that is willing to give him the time he needs and someone that understands he may not be ok in a high stress/social environment such as a Petsmart for a very long time, if ever. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $_350.00__.

Gizmo was born around August 1, 2024 and weighs about 6 pounds. The reason Gizmo is with us is very perplexing. He ended up being given away or purchased, we are uncertain, on a Facebook group by a young family with a small child and a baby about a year prior. We were told he had bitten including the woman and the child so we were very cautious at first and accepted Gizmo knowing he may be unadoptable and he'd be able to live here as a sanctuary dog. We gave him space for a couple of days and then he came to us happily desiring our attention and touch. We saw an incredibly sweet little Chia emerge and it's been a few weeks and we genuinely ADORE him! He showed no signs of aggression so we decided to send him to show and tell at Petsmart with a capable handler just in case. The report back was glowing and that he did beautifully with all humans who approached him and even the kids, although we don't want to put him in a home with little kids so nothing more negative happens to him. One thing his foster mom noticed was when she bended to pick him up he was very uncomfortable and squiggled away and was hard to "catch". This behavior has subsided and she has to believe the child was not handling Gizmo appropriately or kindly and so the problems arose. Gizmo has been wonderful with the other dogs and even plays with them, we are told he is great with cats too. He has discovered the split antlers and enjoys a good chew fest. We are told Gizmo is house-trained but be prepared for accidents with big life changes and floor potty pads are always handy for these little guys. Gizmo rides well in the car and LOVES to cuddle under blankets. Gizmo has slight luxating patellas, but they don't bother him, and he runs, plays and jumps with no issues. So, here is his story and this is what we've discovered about this tiny, tan, love bug! The Adoption Fee for this dog is $350.00

Meet Koda! Born around June 19, 2025 and may top out 25–30 pounds, This handsome boy came into our care after his previous family faced unexpected financial difficulties.
Koda is an absolute social butterfly—he loves other dogs and is great with cats! While he hasn't spent much time around kids yet, his gentle nature makes us think he'd do wonderfully with respectful children. He’s also a fantastic travel buddy who rides beautifully in the car and is doing well on his leash training.
Did we mention how smart he is? Koda already knows "sit" and "down," and he loves a good game of fetch. But once playtime is over, he instantly transitions into the ultimate cuddle bug. He’d love nothing more than to snuggle up next to you while you read a book or cheer on the Bills.
And let’s be honest—have you seen that face? He is absolutely ADORABLE, and that little white tip on his tail is just the icing on the cake. This sweet, fun-loving boy is ready to find his forever family. Could it be yours? We are truly guessing at breed mix because "fox" isn't a choice.

Victor was born around December 1, 2025 and might top out around 15 pounds. Victor was part of an accidental litter. Victor was raised in a loving home with teenage children. Victor is still very much a puppy and has discovered what fun a split antler is. He has also become a good swimmer in a pool or the pond and enjoys floating with you when given the chance. He is an exceptional love bug and does enjoy playing with the other dogs. We feel he is doing well on house training, but encourage our small dog adopters to have potty floor pads handy as it just makes life so much easier for everyone. Victor does ride well in the car and is fine on leash. This cutie is happy go lucky and comfortable in all sorts of situtions. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $600.00
