Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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


Cruz was a typical foster fail. I got him when I was in a previous relationship and because of some of his special needs I had to take full custody when I left. Since then I have been doing my best take care of him in a small apartment. I have since found a new partner and got married and we are in the process of having kids. Which is the reason we need to find him a loving home. Cruz is a sweetheart of a dog, very calm and stoic and eyes that will melt your heart. He is around 8-9 years old. We think he was living a pretty tough life for about 4-5 of those years because of his PTSD. Cruz is deathly afraid of loud noises, loud cars and trucks and even will try and attack them on occasion. Unfortunately he is not dog or cat friendly but good with kids. His perfect day is sunbathing and chasing squirrels in a large backyard and loves a comfy couch or bed to sleep in at night. He is very obedient a listens to basic commands. Cruz is a great dog that deserves a great home.
