Story
We have had Bosch for almost 3 years, since he was about 3 weeks old. He is a sweet boy and we really want to find a loving home for him. He is great with our daughters and all the neighborhood kids. He has no history of biting humans at all. He is essentially house trained, other than some issues with him peeing in the house occasionally when we are gone, typically in the same 2 spots. I put “good with dogs” because he typically is good with dogs he gets to know. The main issue we have had is that we have our kids and neighborhood kids in and out all the time and he does look for opportunities to get out and run the neighborhood. Twice now we have had incidents where different neighbors were walking their dogs when he got out and he was pretty aggressive with the dogs. No major damage done, almost as if he is aggressively playing, but he has bitten the dogs. We just can’t keep him with the amount of opportunities he has to get out and have this potentially keep happening.

Story
We adopted her from the Kansas Humane Society after immediately falling in love with her sweet eyes. She is 1 year old, 40 pounds and we believe she is a beagle/husly mix. She is shy at first but gently warms up over time. She has a sweet nature and is fairly quiet. She walks well on a leash and listens to commands. We were expecting her to want more treats and play time, but only asks for walks and cuddles instead. She absolutely loves going on walks and sniffing her surroundings. She has never shown aggression towards any living creature - only curiosity. She is a sweetie-pie through and through and deserves a loving home where she can be her independent, fullest self. We will provide all her supplies (kennel, leash, harness, etc) as well.
