Story
Ginger is a 15 year old family pet. She was my dad's dog who recently passed away. I'm unable to keep her at my apartment because I'm at max pets. I asked all family and friends first. She is a sweet loving dog. She is partially blind but still sees well. She needs someone who will put the time in to take care of her. She was fully potty trained as a puppy but stopped going outside as she got older.

Story
We are needing help finding a home for our dog, Blitz. We have had him about 4 months. We are looking for a home for him because he cannot be around cats. We initially kept him separate because our cat was scared of dogs, but whenever he got in the same room as her he ended up killing her. We have another cat and are afraid for his safety as well, as when we tried to introduce them, it became clear that Blitz has a problem with cats. Blitz is a Cane Corso Mastiff, about 18 months old. He weighs roughly 90 pounds. He is an awesome dog. He is always happy to see us. He is an upbeat and happy boy. He is very affectionate. He is great with kids, and the kids loved him. He does get a bit excited, and is also clumsy, stepping on feet or bumping into people. He is also a bit of a chewer if left alone, but will happily chew on a raw hide instead. He has gotten along well with other big dogs after being introduced, but hasn't had experience with little dogs.
