1. Sophie
Lewistown, PA Kennel License # 18167, Sophie is a young pug, possibly mixed with chihuahua, who came to ODAAT painfully skinny. With good care and love, she is now back to a healthy weight and full of joyful energy. She is a high‑activity girl who loves movement, car rides, and being part of whatever is happening. Sophie gets super wiggly when held and is often too excited to sit still, but that enthusiasm comes from a heart that is ready to bond deeply once she knows she is truly home. She would happily play with toys and needs help with potty training, especially after previously being kept in a crate for long hours.

Surrendered by her owner, Sophie is discovering what real companionship feels like. She has every bit of potential to grow into a snuggly, devoted little shadow for the right family. She would thrive in a home that enjoys activity as much as she does and can help her channel her energy in positive, fun ways. With patience, structure, consistency and love, she will blossom into the wonderful companion she was always meant to be.
When applying to adopt through ODAAT, please know that we take pride in placing our animals appropriately based on their needs and personality. We want the best family for them and the perfect fit for your family. All applications are reviewed prior to choosing an adopter, and this process takes time.

2. Bella
Lewistown, PA
Bella spent her days living on the streets alongside the homeless, and despite everything she has been through, she has remained a sweet, loving soul. She would do perfectly well as an only dog, but if she were to have dog siblings, a meet‑and‑greet would be required. Smaller dogs tend to be the best match for her, as she is not crazy about big dogs. Bella travels well, enjoys riding in the car, is crate trained, and likes toys. She is not high energy and has a calm, affectionate personality. Above all, she is a total love bug who will make a wonderful companion for someone ready to give her the stable, caring home she deserves.

3. PA/Brittany
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. Still have questions? Contact PA Coordinators Lisa Burley-Blystone at lcnjnburley@gmail.com or Chris Eddinger at ceddinger@verizon.net Thank you.

4. SC/Dobie
EASY KEEPER BESTIE! What does that mean?
THE DOBIE GREY
Allow me to explain what I mean.
Read more about SC/Dobie
Dobie is perfection when it comes to a content dog. Nearing 11 months old with an impeccable disposition and joy detected in his blood work results.
Dobie is one of the happiest dogs I’ve ever met. He doesn’t have an off switch because Dobie doesn’t really have an on switch. He’s content with simply being alive. Despite having endured and surviving whatever tragedy that took place to cause such harm to him, resulting in a full leg amputation, one would never know. Mentally, Dobie is rock solid. Balanced as balances should and could be for a dog. He’s stable, 100%.
Dobie really likes other dogs. I have big dogs. My smallest dog is an almost 12 year old 52lb Alpha Labrador mix. Largest dog is 153lb goofball English Mastiff. Dobie’s bestie here is my amazing larger than life 72lb Bulldog Terrier “Cow” wrecking ball cow puppy who often as possible steals Dobie’s toys.
Dobie is a complete charmer. He lives to love. He LOVES people. Walks like a grande champion on leash. Loves a potpourri of toys, is not destructive and car rides are winning lottery tickets. Dobie is a perfect copilot.
Dobie has a gentle mouth. He is not a grabber or a snapper. Dobie is very intelligent, easy to teach and his listeners work exceptionally well.
Dobie has one hesitation, slippery floors. Here Dobie has a sure “yellow brick road”. I have placed a path of nonslip runners for his path for when we go outside. Once outside Dobie moves about with complete confidence.
I do not have a cat or cats to test Dobie with. We do have loud obnoxious Hens to which Dobie does not even change his body language when those Hens start their noisy nonsense.
Secure fenced yard would be best for Dobie to wander about while out for potty and play. Living indoors with minimal steps would be best considering he’s a perma pirate sporting his Tripaw status. Dobie does not object to being carried when a situation requires him to be picked up. He will melt into arms for cuddles.
Dobie knows exactly how to behave in a kennel and crate (42 inch crate) and won’t object to having to be kenneled as long as there is a nonslip pad under his paws.
Dobie is happy and he is gentle. He is a complete easy and joy filled walk in the park type of dog. At 11 months old Dobie has a long life ahead and would greatly appreciate sharing life with kind and loving human(s) that desire an easy keeper. He would be a phenomenal vacation dog. I don’t believe Dobie should be expected to hike a mountain, run a 5k or walks for endless miles, but dog carts and strollers are Dobie approved and then some. Dobie loves just hanging around and loves the outdoors while out on visits to meet new humans.
Because Dobie is a Tripaw, I don’t believe a forever family with toddlers would be his ideal forever.
Dobie is up to date on all vaccinations, is neutered, and heartworm negative. He is current on his monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention. A clear fecal and a negative 4DX with good bloodwork are part of his health history.
33.12lbs of absolute loving joy.
Bonus -
Dobie is a perfect candidate as a therapy dog. He would love to visit those in need of tender loving joy. He wouldn’t object to being famous while trading some pets and extra love. Dobie’s adoption fee is $350. He is currently located in SC & can be transported up to 1400 miles via the NBRAN Canine Railroad. For more information, contact Karen Carr kecarr72@icloud.com.

5. OH/Bear
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.

Car rides are another favorite of mine too, as they mean we are going on an adventure which I’m always up for.
Oh and people, I just adorable them even the two legged ones called kids. Cats on the other hand are still a little on the strange side for me. I do warm up to them but we need to get acquainted first. I get along great with other dogs and absolutely must have another dog, as well as, a physically fenced yard in my new home.
Oh and before I forget, I’m house/crate trained and have been checked from nose to tail so I’m up to date on all my vaccines, neutered, heartworm negative and micro-chipped too.
So now all that’s missing is a place for me to call home Forever, Is that your home? Are you a family with kids who like to going on adventures, already have a dog that needs a companion, and also have a fenced yard? Well then I just might be what you’re looking for.
If you are interested in giving Bear a place to call home Forever please consider filling out an application online at: 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-coordinatorsBear’s adoption fee is 250.00 which will help NBRAN cover the vetting costs and other expenses associated with bringing Brits like Bear/OH back to good health and readying them for adoption.

6. TN/Hank Jr
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.)
Read more about TN/Hank Jr
Life has been teaching me lots of new things. I didn't have much experience with grass before coming to my foster home, so I've been learning the fine art of outdoor potty etiquette. I'm almost completely house-trained and working hard toward earning my "100% Good Boy" certificate.
I can be a little shy when meeting new people or hearing loud noises. Think of me as a sensitive soul with a big heart. Once I trust you, you'll discover that I'm affectionate, silly, and always ready to make you laugh.
My résumé includes:
Professional leash walker
Excellent passenger on car rides
Certified Dog Treat Specialist
Milk-Bone Enthusiast
Non-destructive house guest
Expert snuggle recipient
I'd especially love a canine sibling to help me navigate this big exciting world. A fenced yard would be my dream playground, and a patient family willing to cheer me on as I continue building confidence would make me the happiest boy alive.
In return, I promise loyalty, laughter, companionship, and approximately one million loving looks per year.
So, what do you think? Could your family use a handsome little sidekick with a goofy grin and a heart of gold?
My adoption fee is $400 to help offset the expenses associated with getting me (and other fabulous, rescued Brittanys) in excellent condition for a fabulous new home. You do not have to live in Tennessee, NBRAN will transport me up to 1400 miles to my furever home. Please contact Suzanne Horsley ztasuzanne@gmail.com or Debbie Tuthill agilitybrits@gmail.com to find out more about me! To submit a NBRAN adoption application, please click

7. UT/Bella
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.
Read more about UT/Bella
Bella is potty trained and has done well being left alone in the house with her dog sister. While she has good house manners overall, she is a bit of an opportunist and if there is unattended food on the table or counter, she will do a bit of counter surfing to go after it.
Like most Brittanys, Bella enjoys looking at and stalking birds and squirrels and needs a home with a yard that is secured by a 6 ft fence to patrol and chase small critters. She is not a jumpy dog and loves meeting new people and gets very excited playing with her humans.
Bella is an absolute sweetheart who melts the hearts of everyone she meets. If you’re looking for a golden girl who will love you to the moon and back, look no further than this bundle of joy.
Bella is spayed, current on her vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $200 ($150.00 for a senior). If you are interested in making Bella a member of your family, and have the time, energy, and love to give her, please visit www.nbran.org and complete the online adoption application form under the Adopt tab. A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process. For more information after completing an application, contact Patti at 801.641.4053. Please realize all our dogs are placed in the most appropriate home for their individual needs. We do not operate on a first come, first serve basis.

Adopting a dog in Milesburg
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
