Story
Princess Pawsephone aka bat dog aka Lil P. I have had her from birth. When she was a puppy she was so small I carried around in my bath tube pocket. Her ears were in the side of her head and we joked she looked like a little nasty. Very caring and living and well behaved. She to loves cuddles. Due to an unfortunate and very serious ailment I am going to have to have a serious surgery that will make it so I can't take care of my babies for several months. It is not fair to them for me to put them through this, so I have made the very difficult choice to give them a better life than I can give them and re-home them. She is not fixed . She is 7 years old and around 30 lbs. They are in good health, but will need a good bath and a nail trim. They will require some remedial re-education in potty training and leash walking as I have already not been able to take them out for a couple of months They are inside dogs. They are not good with other animals. Never been around small children

Story
This is Frejya aka Daddies little girl. She is 8 and weighs around 60 l lbs. I was a vendor at Lacon and somebody came through with her and I feel in love instantly. I sent my girlfriend out with instructions to bring her back to me. She found them and got her for me. We have been through a lot together. She caught Parvo from the flea market. I was terrified that I would lose her, but miraculously she pulled through. She had been my constant companion for 8 long years always at my side. Since she was a puppy she loves to mouth my arm. She is fixed and up on shots except rabies. Due to an unfortunate and very serious ailment I am going to have to have a serious surgery that will make it so I can't take care of my babies for several months. It is not fair to them for me to put them through this, so I have made the very difficult choice to give them a better life than I can give them and re-home them. Doesn't care for other animals never been around small children

Story
This is Hela aka Boo Boo, I have her since birth. Her mother is Frejya. She is very lovable and sweet and a Velcro dog for sure. She loves cuddles. She has PTSD from a particularly nasty fight. She can be a little skiddish at times. She is fixed. She is 7 years old and weighs in around 50 lbs. Due to an unfortunate and very serious ailment I am going to have to have a serious surgery that will make it so I can't take care of my babies for several months. It is not fair to them for me to put them through this, so I have made the very difficult choice to give them a better life than I can give them and re-home them. They are in good health, but will need a good bath and a nail trim. They will require some remedial re-education in potty training and leash walking as I have already not been able to take them out for a couple of months so far. They are inside dogs. They are not socialized with other animals, so I prefer them to be the only pet in the home. never been around small kids
