Found he in a palmetto bush when she was a puppy. She is now 3 years old. House broke, she warms up to other dogs but doesnt like cats at all. The only command she follows is sit for treats. She doesnt walk well on a leash and is full of energy but loves cuddles.

Story
Xula (Shoe-lah) is an energetic and loyal loving dog! She is 6 years old labrador retriever true to her breed she loves to play fetch and loves to swim! She is very smart and learns tricks very quickly. Xula is potty trained and lets you know when she has to go to the bathroom, she knows a couple tricks and is a big foodie. She is a very loyal dog with no interest in straying too far. She doesnt run off when the door is left open and one of her quirks is she doesnt like to be left outside by herself. She would prefer to be with her humans. She is also crate trained and does not and has never chewed on furniture/belongings. Her tricky side is that she is anxious and doesnt get along with other dogs or small children very well. The ideal home for her would be indoors where she can relax with her humans with time to take her on walks and to the park. The reason for rehoming is we do not have the time she deserves anymore. She is a super sweet dog and we want her to be happy.

Story
This is being submitted on behalf of our son who is in the army in basic training, and whose now ex-girlfriend who had agreed to stay at his house and take care of his dogs, called it quits after two months, and we are now left with no one to take care of these dogs on an ongoing basis. We cannot have these dogs in our community and have been unsuccessful in finding someone to move into the house to take care of the dogs. We are therefore urgently looking for someone to either foster these dogs until our son gets to his permanently assigned base and can hopefully take his dogs with him, or to surrender these dogs. Can you help with this situation? We do not have much information on the dogs at this time other than the papers from when they were initially adopted and a couple of photos. Thank you for your consideration.

Story
Simon is a sweet, lovable, very intelligent dog, unfortunately he does not get along with our other, older, male dog, but does with our older female dog. We have tried training, keeping them separated, and that worked for awhile. Recently though, even while in his crate, he has tried to go after our other dog. We do not want to charge a fee, we just want him to go to a good home.
