Story
Bodhi is a cattle dog mix who we adopted about 3 years ago from a shelter in Rancho Cucamonga when he was a puppy. He loves to run and has plenty of energy. He's very friendly and loves being pet. Unfortunately due to having a toddler in our home, a new baby on the the way, and a busy work schedule we just aren't able to give him the attention he deserves. He's a good dog and we're going to miss him but we know there's a better family out there that can give him the time he deserves.

Story
Hello, we are looking to rehome our JJ. We just received him at the end of February from family who was unable to keep him. I was in the process of getting his shots and licensing when I was unexpectedly told at the beginning of March the me and my family had to relocate. We are unable to bring JJ with us as there is a 2 dog max at our new home. JJ is friendly and extremely good around other dogs (puppies as well). As well as little kids (my youngest is 4). He is a pretty calm dog but he craves attention. He has been eating Benefuls Incredibites which seem to work just fine with his digestion. He has mostly been outside but when he comes inside he does not have any accidents. We are just looking for someone who will love him as much as we do!
