FROM OUR INBOX

We were lucky enough to adopt Remington (Remi) when he was about 5. He will be turning 10 in February. He has been a joy and has so many fun antics. He lays his paw on your arm if he wants to be petted, and, when someone comes to the house that he knows, he walks up to them standing there until he is acknowledged. Remi is so gentle and friendly with my two grandchildren. We have a lake place which is Remi’s happy place (especially in the colder months). Every morning he patiently waits to go for our walk-- we walk 2-3 miles, he walks (runs) 12-15 miles! Remi at 5 quickly acclimated to living with new people. He still is anxious in the car- I think he may worry about being left behind, perhaps from being let go at almost 5. We have decided that all our future adoptions will be older dogs. We feel so lucky to have Remi with us.

ADOPT A BRITTANY

Gus (#10684) - UT - 1 y/o :

Looking for a Britt to run wild with you and be your favorite couch buddy after a long adventure? Consider adding Gus to your family! He is super sweet and friendly but needs training, as all young Britts do. He was surrendered to ABR because he became an escape artist at his previous owner’s home. Gus can climb a chain link fence, so we will only be able to adopt Gus to a family with a very safe and secure privacy fence.

Adopt Gus

Nena (#10422) - NC - 7 y/o:

Sweet, smart and loving Nena will greet you each day with her contagious smile and tail thumping with joy! She is good on the leash and LOVES an adventure in the car with her people. Nena does not get along with other pets, so she will need to be placed in home with a fenced yard where she is the only pet. We are looking for a long-term foster or a forever home where Nena can enjoy a lifetime of love and happiness.

Adopt Nena

Barrett Hunter (#10664) - IL - 3 y/o:

Charming, sweet, affectionate, intelligent, extremely willing to please... this is Barrett. This boy is happy careening around the yard chasing birds, squirrels or other vermin. He also loves a good nap and playing quietly with bones and Kongs indoors. He loves his humans, wants to be with them and included in all activities. He will happily sleep in his crate at night, but would love to have bed privileges. Other dogs and new situations make him nervous, so he needs a home where he can be the only dog with no small children and no cats.

Adopt Barrett

ABOUT AMERICAN BRITTANY RESCUE

American Brittany Rescue, Inc. is an organization that was formed in 1991 as a cooperative effort of Brittany owners, breeders, trainers, and fanciers who ABR believes have a responsibility not only for their own dogs and the dogs they produce, but for the breed as a whole.

THE AMERICAN BRITTANY RESCUE MISSION

ABR's mission is to provide the leadership and expertise via a network of trained volunteers to take in stray, abandoned, surrendered and/or impounded purebred Brittanys, provide them with foster care, health and temperament screening, an opportunity for any necessary rehabilitation and to assure their health and placement into new homes. In order to fulfill this mission, ABR's volunteers remain flexible and adaptable to current and future business environments and they remain dedicated to the organization.
