Story
Temperament Test: OrangeArchie was surrendered to the shelter when he did not get along with the other household dog. Archie can be a little bundle of anxiety. He is going to need help from his new family learning how to settle and focus. Archie can be quite high energy. He loves to run and play. He can become nippy when over-excited (in play, in greetings) and doesn't always like to give up what he perceives as his. With some clear rules and direction from his new owner Archie has lots of potential. He is reactive to other dogs and his family may want to work with a professional on this issue. Archie is suggested for a home with older children.

Story
Temperament Test: OrangeVince is looking for an experienced owner. When Vince becomes over excited or is unsure of what is expected of him he will start offering up all kinds of behavior, including compulsive spinning and tail biting. It is going to be very important that he given proper outlets in the form of exercise and games that challenge his mind. Vince can be reactive to some people at first, remember it is important that you take the lead and control greeting so he doesn't have too. Vince is not good with other animals and you may want to work with a professional. Vince likes to play and has lots of energy. With someone who is really willing to commit to training and spending the time working with him he is going to make a wonderful companion.

Story
Hi there!  It's me...Becca!  I am ½ of an amazing pair of Brittanys and we are looking for our forever home…. TOGETHER.  My sister Britta and I used to live outside all the time but now we know what it’s like to sleep inside and we like it! I like to sleep in the room with my people but prefer a dog bed on the floor beside you.  I like people, but I like my own space too.  (you can cuddle with my sister though!)  I like to be outside and watch the birds and the critters.  We have a doggie door and a huge fenced yard so I can come and go so a fenced yard for me is a must.  I love to eat.  I was very sick when I had heart worms and was skinny…but I’m better now and I’m making up for lost time.  I love to take your socks and to steal things off the counter when foster mom isn’t looking.  I also pull on a leash when I walk.  Hey…no one is perfect right?  Like my sister Britta I'm pretty zippy for my age so I like walks and running outside to burn some steam. I like my foster family, but I can be nervous around new people that come to the house.  I just bark at them a bit…that’s all.  Foster mom says I'm "discriminating".  I am spayed, up to date on all my vaccinations and overall very healthy.  So if you are looking for a great couple of Brittanys to join your family….we are your girls.  We will only go to our new home together…. together forever!  Our adoption fee, as we are seniors, is $200 US each or if you are a senior too it’s $100 US each.  We are located near London, Ontario, Canada but NBRAN can transport us up to 2200 kms or 1400 miles.  If you are interested, please submit an application and our people will get in touch with you.  http://www.nbran.org/adopt/adoption-application For more information about Becca (and Britta) please contact sandratoal18@gmail.com We will NOT consider splitting up this pair. They have been together their entire lives.
