Story

Lucy is a very sweet girl. I would do absolutely anything to be able to keep her but I’m moving in with my disabled mother to help her and the living situation would be too difficult for both of them. I also work 3 jobs so I just feel that she deserves someone who has more time to give to her. She loves kids and has played well with small and big dogs! She’s pretty excited in the mornings but she quickly calms down with some attention. She’s a fast learner and has never showed any signs of aggression with food, people, etc. she is a very loving dog. She loves to cuddle and go on walks and swimming in her little pool in the summer. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their family pet. Thank you for taking the time to read this! (:

Story

Apache Attack Helicopter is a sweet and silly girl who is 8 years old but still knows how to party.She was born on a farm in Arthur, IL on 2/1/2018, but has been in with me since 4/13/2018.Over the past year, I’ve developed an allergy to dogs and sadly have to rehome Apache.She deserves a home that is active and where she can be close to her people, but she does well while left alone. She is cat friendly and mostly indifferent to other dogs. She likes kids but hasn’t been around them much.She requires medication for her eyes twice a day and for skin issues on her tummy once a day. I have all her vet records since her first visit. She is also AKC registered.I tried to show Apache’s personality, but it’s hard to capture her spirit. She’s a great adventure companion and will stay close without prompting. She is intelligent and knows many words and phrases while also being a giant goober.She comes with tons of toys, bowls, a leash with collar, and a poop bag holder with bags if desired.
