Story

HI. I have fostered these 2 dogs for a neighbor who had to move. The dogs grew up together. The neighbor who owned them wanted to take them back at some point but has contacted me less about the situation. I travel for work and work a lot. I have 2 adopted cats as well. I am leaving on a trip for work and need to find somewhere for them. The Malinois is 4-5 years old and the the other is a 7 year Maltese Poodle I believe. Both are sweet dogs. They didn't get out a lot for walks or activities. I am not sure how they are with other dogs. I have 2 adopted cats that i have kept separate from them because the dogs have moved on them aggressively. They are mostly house trained but will mark their territory in the house. I have tried to get them as much exercise as possible. 1. Malinois - has been hit by a car in the past and is afraid of cars on walks. Lots of anxiety. Likes to play tug of war. 2. Maltese - A little food aggression. Other than that he is sweet.

Story

Princeton is a beautiful male golden doodle, he is now 1 years old and very playful. I am currently in my RN nursing program and have a very busy schedule, I purchased him from the owner of his parents prior to getting accepted into my program and my schedule is too busy to love on him and care for him like he deserves. He is clean and up to date on shots he actually just got a nice haircut and grooming so he's not as fluffy right now lol but he's perfect, he uses the house pads for toileting and is potty trained well. Please help me to find a loving kind family that has time to play with him, train him more, and love on him.

Koda

German Shepherd Dog Golden Retriever

Male, Young

Spring Valley, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Koda is a beautiful and loving young Golden Shepard mix. He is very affectionate and funny and will put his head on your lap when he wants pets. He’s quiet throughout the day and loves his daily walks and playtime. He knows basic tricks like: sit, lay down, spin and jump. He waits for his food until he is given the command, “Okay!” He is crate and potty trained and a very healthy eater. Although he is great with other dogs and people in general we are looking to rehome him because he does not get along with our other dog inside the house. Nor do we have the space to comfortably keep them separate from each other.
