Story
Roux is a 6 month old sweetheart with a great temperament and disposition. Everyone and every dog is a friend to meet and he is confident to go meet them. He is gentle, in his clumsy phase, plays well with people and pups alike and has a big ol' smile. Family is important to him, he likes to be near and is always curious to what you are doing. He rides in the car well, is potty trained, and can make it through a full night no problem. He will whine at the door during the day when he needs to go and enjoys a quick zoom session outside occasionally. He does need a yard or a consistently active home at this phase of his life. I am rehoming him because my wife and I overestimated our ability to handle a puppy, our infant daughter and our full time jobs. He is free to a good home for him and I will provide his kennel, toys and leash as well.

Story
We rescued Daisy from a difficult situation, and from the start she showed us what a loving, affectionate girl she can be. She absolutely thrives on pets, cuddles, playtime, and being close to her people. Over time, we’ve learned more about what Daisy needs to feel safe and comfortable. She does have significant food-guarding behavior around other pets, and she becomes anxious with loud or chaotic environments. We’ve been able to manage these challenges, but with our family growing, and our household becoming louder and busier, we no longer feel confident that this is the best environment for her. Daisy would truly shine in a calmer home, with no small children or pets, where she can be the center of attention. She would do wonderfully with an older teenager or adult who enjoys being active, as she loves exercise, playtime, and simply being included in daily life. She is a loving, loyal pup with so much affection to give.
