Story
This is my Lola. I used to take care of my elderly father who was home with her all day. He passed in March and Lola has changed. I work 12 to 13 hours. It would be very unfair to get another dog so I tried a cat bad mistake. House has been chaos. It is not fair to Lola to be here because I can’t be with her hardly ever anymore due to my dad dying. I have to work all the time. She absolutely loves people and children more than I can even explain. Please help my Lola find a good home. She is a little anxious, but she is not a mean anxious just separation anxiety no anxiety meeting new people someone who could be with her a lot especially in the beginning is going to help her. I have a local dog trainer ready to take her and rehome her so if you are interested please reply asap she’s super sweet and smart.

Story
Zina is a 10-month old female Border Collie and Australian Shepherd mix. She known basic commands and more. Zina is crate trained walks beautifully on a leash. The stay command poses not problem for her; an open door doesn’t mean she can go out- she knows she has to wait for permission. She needs a lot of exercise every day and l can no longer provide that for her due to health reasons. Not spaying. I want to find a good home for her.
