My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tinker is a sweet dog. She is losing her hearing. She was 100% house trained for 12 years and started going in the house after I moved here in May. I hurt my back and when I take her outside she jerks on the leash and re-injures me. I had a heart attack in March and have been hospitalized twice since I've been here. I simply cannot care for her anymore. I need someone to take her ASAP. She doesn't follow commands well. I've been trying to train her again. She is 14 years old and has been with me for 12 years. Please help. This is a safety issue. She has gotten along with kids in the past however she hasn't been around any in a long time, so I'm not sure how she would be now. She barks at other dogs, and takes a while to socialize with them. She is crate trained, however only for a few hours. She can't last past 8 hours and will soil her crate if she is left in there too long. Please note that Tinker is in Parrish, FL and I will not be able to ship her out of state.
