Story
Ezra is 2 years old. He is the sweetest dog when it is just him. He is good with other dogs but can be territorial. He does not like cats at all. The best home would be one without babies/kids. He does have anxiety and takes trazodone to help with it. I just don’t have the time he deserves to help him.
