Story

Hi there!! This is Bailey a 4 year old female (spayed) black lab mix. She’s an awesome dog who loves to play and get pets. She’s crate trained, potty trained, knows basic commands and some additional tricks. Shes also GREAT at the vet! (I used to train on her when I was a vet tech) My husband and I have put A LOT of love in her which is why I’m crying writing this. We have had her since she was 2-3 months old. Recently she seems a little more anxious around the house and we have a 10 month old baby girl and a senior dog. In addition, we are having to relocate over seas soon (military). Lately it’s all becoming too much for me and I want Bailey to have the best life possible. She is not normally aggressive to humans but has developed food aggression since my pregnancy. She would LOVE to be the center of someone’s world and soak up all the attention. She would also love a family with older kids to play with!

Male, Young

Columbus, GA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Enzo was dropped off in a basket at my friend’s door in February of 2025. He was the cutest puppy I had ever seen and my friend was allergic so I agreed to take him in since he was a stray and it was freezing cold out. We planned on fostering him until we found a home for him, but unfortunately I was not able to find one. We eventually decided to keep him, but due to our increasing responsibilities away from home, it’s become impossible to give him the attention, care, and possible training that he requires. He ends up having to spend most of his days in a kennel when we’re at work or away. He’s a loving and energetic boy who loves to play fetch and run around in the yard with his toys. He hasn’t been exposed to many other humans or dogs, and can be a bit of a handful around new people and pets at first due to his energy but he means well. He’s about a year and a half old now. We love Enzo but he deserves someone who can give him more time and attention that he deserves.
