About this Dog
Meet Buddy UP – A Gentle Soul with a Playful Spirit Buddy is a 4-year-old purebred Brittany who found his way to NBRAN after the loss of his owner and a short stay in a local shelter. Since joining his foster home, Buddy has been blossoming into the sweet, loyal companion he was always meant to be. At first, Buddy was timid around people, other dogs, and even cats—but with time, patience, and love, he’s come out of his shell. He now enjoys gentle play with the dogs, harmless teasing of the cats, and quietly nestling his head in your lap for affection. He sleeps faithfully beside the bed and loves just being near his humans. A former hunting dog, Buddy is happiest outdoors, lying in the grass and watching the world go by. He’s full of energy, enjoys walks and bike rides, and gets the absolute cutest zoomies when he's excited. He’ll chase a ball with delight—though he may not bring it all the way back! He loves his food and has become quite the talker at mealtime. His favorite treats include frozen peanut butter-yogurt goodies and doggy ice cream. Buddy would thrive as the only dog in a home where he can soak up all the attention. He needs an active adopter who’s patient and committed to continuing his leash training—he’s strong, pulls hard, and needs to learn polite walking skills. A secure, 6-foot fenced yard is a must, as Buddy has attempted to dash out the front door and is quite the escape artist when curious. Though he may be wary of strangers at first (and will let you know with a protective bark), once Buddy knows you, he’s all heart. With structure, love, and plenty of outdoor time, Buddy will be the most loyal, sweet-natured companion you could ask for. Ready for a sweet, smart, and active best friend? Buddy’s waiting for you! Fill out an application at: https://nbran.org/adopt/adoption-application. Once your application is submitted the coordinator in the State where you reside will follow-up with you. Need to reach your State Coordinator, find their contact information here https://nbran.org/about/state-provincial-coordinators. MI/Buddy UP adoption fee is $400 which will help NBRAN cover the vetting costs and other expenses associated vetting and readying our Britts ready for adoption. Don't live in MI or close by? No Problem! NBRAN also has a wonderful transport team willing to help bring Brits to their new family, up to 1400 miles with the adoptive family being responsible for the last 100 miles, at no additional fee.

Adopt MI/Buddy UP and Receive MI/Buddy UP's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, MI/Buddy UP's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is MI/Buddy UP's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the MI/Buddy UP, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming MI/Buddy UP's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and MI/Buddy UP was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, MI/Buddy UP’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the MI/Buddy UP’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, MI/Buddy UP’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
