Story
Oh, Lila. She found herself stuck in a municipal shelter and luckily she busted out and into a foster pretty quick. She’s thrived in her foster home and gets along with anything and everything. She is up to date on shots and heartworm negative. Oh, and she’s spayed! She does have a bit of arthritis so we do recommend monthly injections for that(you should see the difference, she turns into a big ol puppy)!

Story
I have raised him from a puppy. He is a big baby and loves attention. I work and don't have the time to give him the attention he deserves so he gets out of his pen and I am having trouble with the neighbors. He is around 4 years old and he is penned with his 2 sisters. He knows how to sit. He barks but does not bite or growl at people. He has never been aggressive, he just has been penned up and when he get outs he lots of energy, he walks good on a harness. He is trained with a sound device and if sees you have it he stops dead in his tracks. He is a great big baby but doesn't realize how big he is, so when he wants love he will jump on you and wrap his legs around you. This is heartbreaking for me so I will be very choosy on who gets him, will have to be a meet and great t least twice before he is okayed to leave with you.
