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.
