Story
He is an American bully I’m rehoming my sweet 5½-year-old dog due to my work schedule and difficulty finding an apartment that allows him. He is potty trained, knows sit, lay down, and paw, and is great with kids and babies. He has no aggression toward people or food. He would do best as the only dog in the home. He is neutered, microchipped, and will come with his harness, leash, food, toys, and bed. I’m looking for a good, responsible home for him.

Story
Pete is a lovable, energetic dog. He is almost 2 years old. He needs a home with a yard, and preferably someone who is home more often than not, with the patience to continue training him. He needs a home without cats. We do not know how he is with children or other dogs in the home, but there have been no issues with other short interactions. He likes to run and play and go for walks, but he also likes to hang out at home and snuggle once his energy is out. He is crate trained. He enjoys his peanut butter filled bones and apple yogurt treats. He’s been a wonderful dog, but he deserves a home where he can thrive.

Story
Norbert has been the best dog for the last 3.5 years I have had him, however he is extremely reactive and aggressive with other dogs and with us living in an apartment complex this has been an ongoing challenge that has unfortunately caused both of us extreme stress. I worry that he will attack someone’s dog, and that he is not getting the exercise he needs. He is the sweetest dog with any humans he meets, he is great with kids, he loves to snuggle on the couch, and he is about as lazy as it gets. I have worked extremely hard to train him to mitigate his reactivity with dogs. And while he is well behaved and trained, his aggression and reactivity to other dogs has not improved and I’ve come to the decision it is not fair for me to keep him in an environment where he is constantly in fight or flight mode. I would love for him to have a home with an experienced dog owner who can give him the time and training he needs. As well as a home with no other pets and a fenced back yard.

Story
He would do best as an only pet. He loves people but gets very aggressive with other animals (dogs, cats, geese, etc) and must be kept on a leash during walks and time outdoors. He's done well with kids and strangers, but not other animals. He prefers to lie next to someone as often as he can. He has separation anxiety and takes medication for it. He is a fairly "needy" dog, not wanting to be left alone. He's spent more time in a crate at home alone than a dog should on a regular basis and the family agrees that he would be happier in situation where he's got someone to simply be at home with him so his crate time isn't so long every day. We adopted him from the shelter four years ago as an adult. We've kept all the adoption paperwork and vet visit papers.

Story
Frodo is the sweetest, most lovable dog you will ever meet. He loves to play outside no matter the weather and is a quiet dog - he rarely ever barks. He gets along great with our other dog and our two small children. He loves to run around and play but is also perfectly content cuddling with you on the couch. He just wants love!He came from a shelter and can be nervous or even a tad aggressive when meeting other dogs for the first time but he calms down quickly and they become fast friends (he is besties with our other dog, gets along with neighbors dogs, gets to be in the “social group” at the boarders, etc). As noted, he is fully house trained, crate trained and knows basic commands but could probably benefit from some basic doggie classes. He is honestly a great dog, but as we are growing our family (in human terms :) ) he is just not getting the love and attention he deserves. $50 will be donated to the hamilton county humane society, which is where we adopted him.
