Story

She is a very sweet dog and she has been in the family since she was a puppy. She is currently 7 years old. She was living with my mom up until October of last year. My mom decided to move. I took her on and as time has gone on, I am becoming more and more unable to take care of her medical needs and as well as her physical needs. I work a lot and long days. I live with a roommate but she works a lot as well. Nala is a very good girl but she needs lone and attention. She was also diagnosed with Addisons diease 2 years ago. She hasnt had an Addisonian episode since we found out. She has to have a shot once every 25-30 days and given a pill everyday. This in total cost a little over $200. I just cant afford her anymore. She also needs to be a bit more active then I can give her. Please if you can provide her a loving home and you can financially take her on, please let me know. She deserves the world. ❤️

Story

I am very sad to say that we need to re-home Norman. If you are looking for a boisterous, fun-loving, 70lb lap dog, Norman is the dog for you! This 5-1/2 yo German short-haired pointer mix does well with other dogs, can be good around some cats, and walks well with a gentle leader. He is an excellent snuggler, and loves to play. He would thrive where there is space to run and where there are no small children. He is great with older children.
