Story
We have had Sadie as a puppy at 6 weeks. She is a sweet, loyal, cuddly dog. She loves to snuggle and talk. She is fully potty trained and stays in her crate when we leave. She loves her crate and very often will lay in there willingly and on her own. She is playful and stays in our unfenced yard. She does NOT get along with other dogs, which is our reason for rehoming. Even though we have had her since a puppy, her aggressiveness toward our other dog has gotten worse. She loves our children and has never went after a person. We request She goes to a home where she will be the only dog and she will make a great pet!

Story
I got Bentley at the Bowling Green/Warren County Humane Society in July 2023 on my way home from college. I lived at home with my parents and sister and worked from home as well. In February of this year, I moved into my own house by myself. In May, I started a new job that required me to be in office around 10 hours every day. As much as it breaks my heart, I just do not have the time to spend with him that he deserves anymore. He's an amazing dog and a great companion, house trained, good with other dogs, and loves to sleep in! I would love to find Bentley the home he deserves and am happy to answer any questions.

Story
Rocco is extremely sweet and playful. He also loves to snuggle and sleep! He will be one next month. We have not been able to properly train him fully but he is crate trained. He has been around kids since coming home and is sweet with them, just hyper! We are only looking to rehome him due to our own personal medical issues and lack of time. He deserves so much more and we want to give him a better life. We were unaware of my husbands medical situation and with myself having chronic conditions, he is not getting the attention he deserves/needs.
