Story
Rocky is a 1 yo mix breed 62 lb baby. He is extremely affectionate and loving. Very well socialized. He is mustered. He does not hike his leg or hump. He doesn’t chew, stays off furniture, and rarely barks. He is also crate trained and gets along w all dogs. He is amazing but due to my changing circumstances, I cannot give him what he needs. Will bring his own extra large crate , toys , dish, and blankets.

Story
We adopted Trace in April of this year. He served the past 7 years of his life as a PTSD service dog for a veteran. His veteran handler passed away and we answered the call to take him in. Due to his handlers, deteriorating health and extended periods of time in long-term hospital care, Trace had fostering care that seemed neglectful and not adequate. Since being with us, he has shown a very sweet and caring demeanor towards adults and children. He is loving and wants love. Over the last couple of months he began showing signs of aggression towards our dog and and other dogs when out on walks. We have worked with him in an effort to train this behavior out of him but, he has not gotten better. We feel that it's not fair to either dog to have to live this way and know he would be an awesome companion for a home without another dog. For a senior dog, he does have good amount of energy considering his age and enjoys going for walks, is excellent on lead, knows and obeys commands.

Story
Charlie is a total lovebug with people. He is a big baby! He loves most other dogs but not all. We have not figured out his triggers. The biggest detail you must know about Charlie: he has extreme separation anxiety. He wants a human near at all times. We have tried working on leaving for short stints but he needs a more experienced dog person. He will be your biggest buddy & best companion. He loves walks & the dog beach.
