Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

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


Saved her from being put in a shelter. Been trying to rehome her for a bit, but she lacks social skills with other dogs and cats. She likes to play but tends to get rough/aggressive. She nips at hands, has tried to bite when angry or fills threatened, possibly due to previous owner caged her for 12-13 hours a day and was trying to make her into a guard dog. She’s not a bad dog, I would get her into training but my health is not well, I’m trying to get listed for a heart transplant and she is too much for me. She have better days when played with outside and taken for walks a couple times a day. If you’ve worked with animals, I really hope you’ll consider her. In the three months I’ve had her I’ve come to care for her. When no one else home she’ll lay at my feet, but then starts jumping on me when I get up and I also have balance issues. Please consider, she’s like this because of how previous owner was raising her. Don’t want to see her put down. Thank you
