ter. He is a 12 year old liver and white unaltered male whose family surrendered him; and the shelter thought he was unadoptable so he was going to be euthanized. That afternoon, during his bath, as I lathered him, I could feel every bone on his body, backbones, hipbones, shoulders, ribs, everything. I finished his bath in tears. On Monday, April 3, I took him to the vet for neutering and dental among other things. At his weigh-in, he was 30 lbs which he should have been 40 at least. At his final vet visit on May 2nd to complete his boosters, Bower weighed in at 41.5 lbs. So now Bower is neutered, housebroken, fully vetted microchipped and up to date on all vaccinations. He is heart worm negative and energetic. Don't let his age fool you! Bower has the energy to out run any younger dog. He does all right with cats, finds them interesting, but will chase them if they run past him. He loves people and does well with children. He loves to run in the yard, but will need a fenced yard to keep him safe. He would do well in an active home with walks and hikes. He travels well in the car. Bower LOVES to be with his people, to cuddle on the bed or be a lapdog. Bower was confined and ignored for most of his life so he is looking for a family that will be patient, spend time with him, love him and teach him new things. If you think you are that family, please fill out an application at the following link: https://www.nbran.org/adoptappl.asp . Bower's adoption fee is $200.00 which helps to offset his vetting fees and allows NBRAN to help more of these wonderful pets. Bower is also available at a reduced adoption fee through NBRAN's Senior to Senior Program. Information regarding the Senior to Senior Program can be found on our website here: http://www.nbran.org/index.asp. After filling out an adoption application you can contact Gaye Bricker at BeauBritt2@aol.com . Transportation can be arranged for up to 1500 with his new family driving the last 100 miles of his journey. Please consider giving this sweet boy the loving home he so rightly deserves!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
