Story
Selena is 13-years old, turning 14 in June. She’s a great shape for her age and is well-behaved. Selena is a very happy dog. Selena does spend a lot of time sleeping yet enjoys being outside on long walks. She is very picky when in comes to interacting with other dogs. Sometimes she’ll play with them, other time she’ll simply walk away from them. She can be intimidating by little kids because in the past they have been rough with her. Other than that, she is a sweetheart once she warms up to you. She loves her quiet time and being alone. Yet, she can be playful whenever she’s in the mood. She can be a bit moody at times. She’s in need of a new home that will provide her with lots of love and attention as she has gotten older and has health issues.

Story
Pausing applications for now - thank you for your interest!Charizard is a sweet, goofy boy who just wants to be with his people at all times. He was trained to be a service dog, but I have become too sick to take care of him - with the right training and handler, I think he could still be a great service animal for someone. If service work ends up not being his calling, I think he would be a great family dog for an active person or family with older kids (he might be a bit too rambunctious for a home with younger kids). Some things to know about Charizard:-High-energy and affectionate, loves attention and playing fetch in the yard.-Good with dogs but can play a little hard (so maybe not a good fit for small or older dogs). Doesn't react to cats.-Has seasonal allergies but otherwise in great health.-Gets a little separation anxiety and sometimes tries to eat rocks, but nobody's perfect, right?

Im giving my dog for adoption because I gave birth not too long ago and Its hard to take care of the baby and my dog. so Benji is 2 years and half old, and he’s a good dog, he get along with kids but doesn’t like to be bothered too much, I would just like a new home for him that can take much better care for him and give him more attention than I can.
