CA/Reggie Brittany Spaniel & English Pointer Mix Los Angeles, CA

Reggie is a Brittany-pointer mix who has energy to spare when outside and an almost unbelievable off-switch in the home. Indeed, Reggie is a sweet, loving lap dog in a large body.

Reggie needs a home where he can live indoors with the family and be showered with love. Reggie needs a home with a large yard and a secure, 6-foot high fence so he can safely run and hunt squirrels. He is a great running companion and would do best in a home where he would be able to run with his owner every day. Preference will be given to adopters with sporting dog experience who understand the energy needs and running tendencies of these dogs. Reggie also needs a home where the owner/s either work from home or are retired. He has been through a lot in his life and he has some separation anxiety and is currently on Prozac for his SA.

It is clear Reggie came from a home where he was badly abused and that history has left him with a few reactive behaviors. While he does well on leased walks, he does not respond well when being led or grabbed by the collar. He also will periodically cower if you try to step over him or he is surprised. He does not get aggressive but freezes with fear. This behavior is slowly disappearing as his foster family works with him and builds his confidence. Because of his abuse history, Reggie needs a very patient family that can help to continue to build his confidence. Reggie will only be adopted to a home with no children. Because Reggie is anxious about where he sits in the pack he will do best as the only dog in his new home although he does do well at doggy daycare playing with other dogs.

Reggie is UTD on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped. His adoption fee will be $350 to offset his vetting and to allow NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members. If interested in making Reggie a member of your family, please complete the on-line application by visiting www.NBRAN.org (under the Adopt tab). Once your application has been completed, you will be contacted by your state coordinator. A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process. Please realize that all our dogs are placed in the most appropriate home for their individual needs. We do not operate on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Reggie is eligible for our canine railroad and can be transported up to 1400 miles from LA with the last leg (100) being driven by the adopter.
