Story

Adopted Voss at 4 weeks old while stationed in California. He was born 28 July 2017. He moved with us to North Carolina, Kentucky, and now Louisiana. We have had a German husky, 3 cats, and a baby that he has been great around. He is obedient, loyal, a great companion, and crate trained. Since living in Louisiana Voss has had allergies which has caused hematomas in his ears. This is why you see one ear has flopped down. He has been growing fatty tumors the last few years. I had them biopsied since they have gotten bigger but was told they dont need to be removed. We have loved him dearly and have made the difficult decision to put him up for adoption since we can no longer offer him the space and time he requires. We want to see him enjoy the rest of his life in a home that loves to play and offer him the attention that we cant give him at this time. Happy to answer any questions.

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I have had paco since I was around 12, he was a birthday present from my grandparents. Now that I’ve graduated and moved out of my parents house I can no longer provide him with the attention and care he deserves. He is around 8 years old but he is still very energetic. I think a place where someone is home most of the time is better for him. He is an escape artist so a fenced in back yard is best for him. He has a bit of separation anxiety so he freaks out when left alone.

Valkyrie has been around people her 7 years life. She is a sweet heart with a lot of character. Val loves people and is intrigued but careful of cats. She knows how difficult they can be so she mostly gives them their space. She is often found just relaxing anywhere that's comfortable. She loves a good walk but tires quickly. She needs a home who has time to love her and a house she can lounge around in. She is rough on kennel cuz she loves her leg room. She has barrier issue, not a fan of fences and unknowns on the other side. She is a good girl who just needs a good home with time for her.

Ellie

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young

Lafayette, LA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ellie is a very sweet mixed dog. We believe she is part German Shepard. She was a rescue; we found her 2.5 years ago living in a graveyard and adopted her. From what we know, she was dumped near the graveyard by her apparent previous owner. She is very attached to our other dog (GSD), but does not get along with other dogs. Behavioral issues: minor nipping (only occasional & what we believe to be in play), crying every time our babies cry, escaping from her kennel/jumping fences, aggression towards other dogs (it seems out of protection of the other dog), and digging in the yard. Very skittish and timid. Positive traits include: very sweet and cuddly, loves being pet and sitting in your lap, responds to basic commands, not a big barker, pretty good on a leash (minimal pulling), generally is good with guests Ellie needs a quiet, child-free home where she can be prioritized. She has had issues from her previous owner (was likely abused) that we do not have the resources to fix.
