Story
Hello all! I have been looking to try to rehome my 3year old great Pyrenees mix for several months now. He is a 75 pound absolute sweetheart. He gets along great with other dogs and doesn’t mind cats either although he can get really excited around small children and knock them over. I feel like with some proper training might help alleviate that we live in EVANSVILLE Indiana and we are very reluctant to drop him off at a animal shelter and wanted to take the hard road to try to find him a good home ourselves. We have a lot of life changes in the past six months that has basically left us with no choice. Please shoot me a p.m. if you would be interested I can fill you in on any questions or give you a more detailed reason why we need to rehome them in a private message thank you so very much for considering him. He’s definitely one of those dogs that you would never regret bringing home!

Story
Clyde is a big couch potato that just hasn't handle the changes we've had in our lives very well. Recently we have moved to an apartment from a house with a fenced yard. He has a high prey drive so being on a leash is all good til a squirrel or cat comes within sight. He was housed with 2 other great Danes previously and now is only pet..he's reactive to other dogs but so far not aggressive. He's very intimidating with his bark someone owners tend to be scared to let him approach but in general he's a big baby that doesn't know his strength or size. Also does not do well with young children. Would recommend a home with teens or older kids. Possibly someone that is good at training and dealing with these types of behaviors he has. Fenced yard recommended.

Boston is a 1 year old house dog. I bought him when he was 3 months old and he has been raised with a male and female Yorkies and a cat in the home. He has been good with my 2 year old and 7 year old grandkids. His vaccines are up to date through Henderson Veterinary. His shot record, cage, and a medium bag of dog food comes along with his rehoming. He loves to run and play catch. He understands the words: cage and no. He needs a good home.

Story
We took him in from a friend who was moving out of state and couldn’t take him with her. He’s super playful, goofy and a major cuddler! He will play with any toy you give him. He entertains himself. He knows sit and “kennel up” (which will go with him if adopted) and is kennel trained. He loves being outside!! Definitely needs a fenced in yard tho. He will paw at the door when he’s ready to come in. He’s not potty trained. We have an infant so his rambunctiousness is a little much for us. He also isn’t a fan of our older dog. He likes to kind of bully him. He has bit him quite a few times. He hasn’t bitten other dogs tho just our old boy. He's amazing with kids especially if they wanna run and play! He gets a treat when he comes back in from using the bathroom outside. We would definitely keep him if circumstances were different but we feel it’s best to rehome him.

Story
Matilda is a 3-4 year old mixed pup that I got from a shelter. She is insanely loveable and loyal. She loves car rides, and being outside, and is very much a cuddler. She is not or has never shown aggression (does not like blow dryers) to anyone, but she does tend to jump up when she is excited...or pounces on laps if your not paying attention. I am unfortunately going through a rough time and want her to be loved more than what I can do right now.
