Story
Chapo is a beautiful and loving dog. It is breaking our heart to have to let him go. The only problem we have is since he was a puppy he became dog aggressive. At this time, we are unable to go on walks or take him to the dog park. We do not have the time or money to train him and unfortunately can no longer keep him. We want him to go to a loving home. I can give him the time and attention he needs.

Story
We adopted Ruby from the Elk Grove Animal Shelter almost two years ago. She came home and immediately became friends with our other dogs and a great addition to our family. She has toy aggression and WILL NOT share toys with people or other dogs. No food aggression. Recently, she was attacked by our grouchy old chihuahua, and unfortunately Ruby responded and bit our other dog in the face. Since she is so small and old, her injuries were significant and we had to put our old chihuahua to sleep. We hate to re-home Ruby, but cannot keep her after this incident. Recommend you do NOT have small children or other dogs (especially small ones). Otherwise, she is sweet and loving. Likes to nap on the couch and snores very loud. We have an entire bag of Royal Canin bulldog food that would go with her. Also, she's very easy on walks. No pulling at all.

Story
Kirby is a male,mixed breed,7- 8 yrs old. Got him as a puppy from Los Banos shelter.The shelter told me he was a Dachshund/Jack Russell Terrier mix, i had a DNA done and report said 50% American Bulldog,25% Dachshund, 12.5% Jack Russell, 12.5% Chihuahua. He gets groomed every month. Enjoys walks and is a loving dog. When he's asleep, you can't pick up and carry, he has an attitude. Same when asleep when you go next to his crate scares him. He also likes to bury himself slowly under a blanket and sleep on couch. Still has zoomies.He sleeps in crate, he knows as "his room". He grew up with 2 dogs-a chiweenie and frenglish bulldog. Lately, my frenglish bulldog has been fighting with Kirby and hurting him in the process and I fear for Kirby's safety. All these years have been ok, don't know why sudden two get into it now. I'd like to rehome him preferably bonds more to females, who can spend more time with him and maybe be the only dog. But maybe ok with 1 other dog, no cats.
