Story
We have had Sam for almost 2 years and we are her 3rd home. The reason we are rehoming Sam is because we have a baby on the way due in October this year.She is a reactive dog with behavioral issues along with anxiety. She does not get along with anyone besides me and my fiancé or any dogs at all. She is not potty trained or crate trained, even though we have tried. She has chewed through her metal cage leaving a hole that she’s has tried to squeeze her body through, so now we leave her out in the house for her own safety. She is destructive when not watched due to her being bored and anxious even though she has toys all around. It’s as if she’s guarding the house from everything and everyone.She would do best with someone understanding her breed, having a consistent work/life schedule, and being an only dog.She’s a very sweet dog once you gain her trust and get to know her. She loves to be goofy while playing. She loves her balls, fetch, tug a war, going on walks, and a good belly rub.

Story
We brought Zola home a bit over a year ago as a foster from a rescue agency and nursed her back to a healthy happy girl. She was initially afraid of everyone and everything and had clearly been abused. She is afraid of men and we believe a male was likely her abuser. We have tried everything, but she just barks at my husband. As much as we love her, we feel that she needs an all female home. She does great with other dogs. She has not been exposed directly to children. I suspect she would be afraid of them. She will initially require some TLC as she adjusts to her new environment and person, but if you are kind and patient with her, you will be rewarded with unconditional love and a faithful companion! She loves to go everywhere with "her person", walks well on a leash (goes on 6 mile hikes with me), and absolutely loves to cuddle. She really is a sweet girl! Dog crate, dog bed, food, treats and other supplies included.

Story
This is Jag!! We are relocation and do not have the yard space that he loves!! He is such a sweet and obedient dog and loves to lay out in the sun. He is crate trained and loves kids. He gets along with other dogs but really loves all the attention to himself so I think he loves being an only dog.
