Story
Thor was a rescued dog, he is a blessing to have around my other dogs. He just needs some one on one training and someone who can get down and play with him. He is full of energy and loves attention. If he is left home alone for long periods of time with nothing to do he gets into things.

Story
We have had Lily since she was just a few weeks old.. for about 8.5 years now.. She was a rescue found with her litter not far from where we live.. She is a sweet girl, playful and energetic, She LOVES people and gets along well with kids and other dogs.. Unfortunately, after 2 years of trying to make things work.. we have decided it's best for her and us to find her a new home. 2 years ago we had to sell our home and move in with my son after Hurricane IDA to a smaller home, My son has an allergy to dander and it has just been one issue after another since we moved in causing alot of stress for us and Lily.. I hoped we would be able to move to a new place or things would get better but it's just not working out for us or her.
