BRUNCH FOR THE BRITTANYS WAS A BIG
SUCCESS!
Thanks to all who attended, donated and supported our first ever Brunch
for the Brittanys. It was a successful day and the Brittanys of NEBR
are so very grateful to all of you for your love and support. Sampson,
our featured guest, really showed his stuff as a therapy dog, and we
enjoyed hearing Maureen talk about him and his "calming" effect on
children. The food was wonderful, the raffle prizes fun, and the silent
auction items were lovely and are being enjoyed by the highest bidders!
It was great to hear all about all of the adopted rescues and to finally
meet each other. Below are some pictures from our big day.

HAPPY TAILS FOR DAISY!
Dear NEBR:
In about one more month, we will celebrate Daisy's 4 year adoption
birthday!! She has been been a lifesaver for me. She is just the most
lovely girl. Daisy has passed her therapy dog certification, and LOVES
visiting with kids. She is such a gentle soul and the kids really pick
up on that... and let's face it! She loves the attention! All of those
ear scratches & belly rubs are right up her ally! Daisy had gotten very
sick in January and we almost lost her (still brings tears to my eyes
just thinking of it!!) It's still not really known exactly what the
cause was, but it turns out she has a small benign tumor on her adrenal
glad. We saw one specialist that was gung ho on doing surgery. I
immediately declined when he said that there was only a 30% survival
rate and after discussion with our regular vet, we couldn't say with any
certainty that this tumor was the cause of anything... We went to a
cardiologist who said that she as a bit of a leaky valve, but other than
that is in good health. She's on a couple different meds now & is
doing SO well!! She has so much spirit!! In her mind she is still a pup
with lots of spunk! When my husband & I come home in the evenings, she
is so excited to see us... gives us love & then immediately rolls over
on her back, legs in the air & just wiggles with happiness!! Her hips,
don't necessarily agree with her spirit, but she is just such a happy ol'
girl & eternally my shadow! Her hearing isn't so great anymore, but
don't let that fool you!! The nose, knows! And those eyes... I swear
she can see through the front door!!
I'm SO grateful every day for everyone who brought Daisy into my
life!! Thank you for all you & NEBR do!!
Sincerely,Teresa

BRITTANY OF THE MONTH
Meet Reggie, a wonderful and sweet 5 year old Brittany, who was
surrendered to a shelter because he "didn't hunt." Now, we never really
know what that means...perhaps he's gun shy? But, we also don't know
how he was trained either. Reggie is a typically energetic boy who
enjoys being outdoors. He's also good with other dogs (he came in with
his pal, Raleigh-- the shyer of the two), but he's just a little too
"fond" of the felines. Anyhow, if you are looking for a good-looking
boy, then we'd love to hear from you. Reggie's bags are packed and he's
ready to go.

Several of our recent
dogs pulled from shelters have had some significant health issues.
Missy (now in her NEBR foster home) had a very serious wound affecting
her back leg and required extensive surgery; many have heartworm disease
and are in treatment; Kiley lost her leg due to non-treatment when the
injury occurred; Janie had mammary tumor removal, probably due to not
being spayed earlier in her life, and the list goes on. If you can make
a donation at this time to help defray the medical costs, NEBR would be
very grateful. Make a Donation
Please remember also
that we are participants in the Shaws Rewards
Program, so if you are a Shaws shopper, that is also a way to help.
And if you are an online shopper, please go to
igive.com and denote New
England Brittany Rescue as the recipient of part of your shopping
dollars. All this is to say that the tail waggers need your help.
Of course, we are
always in need of additional foster homes, so please let Christine know
at clyk9s@gmail.com if you would
like more information on this rewarding part of rescue.
