Story
Rusty is an amazing family dog. He's great with small kids and adults alike. He would do best in a home with no small pets. He gets along well with other dogs as long as he gets to know them on the leash first. He is perfectly house trained and kennel trained. He is 7 years old and he loves to sleep on the couch and other soft places. Because he is 70 lb he needs more exercise than we can give him with our busy schedule. We are rehoming him to give him his best chance at a life that is more in tune with his needs. He will come with his kennel, all toys and blankets, food and water bowl, collar, harness, and leash.

Story
Nala is the sweetest, most loving, family oriented girl ever. If you are someone looking for a companion, easy family dog, or someone to cuddle at night…she’s your girl. She’s completely trained, naps most the day, hasn’t bitten a single soul, and is great with children and other dogs. She does get seasonal allergies so during season changes hot spots occur. You’ll have to know how to handle those along with making sure you can keep her from itching.
