What is Rehome?
If you see pets listed by a private owner, it means that they’re adoptable through Adopt a Pet’s Rehome program – the safe and reliable way to find a loving new home for your pet.
I really really hate having to do this. We have to find a new home for our girl, Dixie. She is a very sweet and loving dog, but does not like younger kids. We always worried this would be an issue before having our son seeing how she would interact with other kids in our life. She has now snapped at him 2 times for just petting her. She just gets very nervous around him even if he’s not doing anything. I’m not willing to risk a 3rd and having my son get hurt. We have had her since she was a puppy. She is a mix between a lab & a red heeler mixed breed. She is almost 8 years old. She had been on simparica trio for fleas because she has a skin allergy to flea bites. She is fine with cats and dogs. She may annoy a cat sniffing it, but wouldn’t ever hurt it. She is a very very smart dog, she knows lots of tricks including how to speak and whisper. She watches tv very intently, is afraid to drive under bridges. She loves to swim & play fetch.
