Story
So I love this boy with all my heart and it hurts that he has to go, but I’m assuming that because of his age he is getting a bit annoyed at my toddler and he scares my new born with his bark, when people come and visit. I live in an apartment so it’s just hard to manage and my fiancé is going thru it the most because of post partum.

Story
Simba is a small adult dog with a sweet and loyal personality once he feels comfortable. He loves being around his person and enjoys a calm, structured environment. Simba is crate trained and does well with routine. He can be anxious in new situations and around unfamiliar people, which may cause him to bark or become defensive. He will likely bark quite a bit during the first few days as he adjusts to a new environment. Because of this, Simba would do best in a home with an experienced dog owner who understands how to give him time and space to adjust. He would do best in a home without small children. Simba would do best in a house rather than an apartment, as he can be vocal at times. A home without carpet is preferred. Simba has so much love to give and forms a strong bond with his owner. With patience, consistency, and the right environment, he can be a very loyal and rewarding companion. We are looking for a home that can provide him with stability.

Story
Amazon Prime is sponsoring my adoption fees!*I`m in a foster home* To meet me reach out to my foster caregiver at kimseidl@proton.me. - pocket size - super snuggly - motivated for trainingMeet little Miss Tater. She`s a 40 pound pocket pup mix with a little pittie and 99% Wiggle. She is the happiest dog you could ever hope to meet and tap dances while folding herself in half with excitement and any attention you give her- just the slightest look in her direction will set her tail in motion and she`ll crawl in and grab your arm for belly rub time. She can`t wait to see you in the morning, get the morning zoomies and settle in for some good food toys followed by a snuggly snooze. She knows how to fetch and loves her Wubba. She is incredibly food motivated and we`re currently working on some confidence building and training with sit/stay, and loose leash walking. She just started working on `touch` and instead of nose booping, she gives the cutest little kisses! She would love to keep working with you- especially if you have treats!. If you`d like to know more about this sweet little girl, contact her foster mom for more info.

*Woof* I am in a foster home! Email my foster parent to meet me: ekurland@humanerescuealliance.org. - has lived with other dogsOh how I live up to my name! See, an impala is a graceful African antelope with reddish-brown fur and powerful jumping ability. My coat is a strikingly beautiful red-brown color and I move so gracefully that I have been called `Impala Ballerina` by some. Luckily, I have been learning to exercise my jumping skills to moments when it is appropriate. I may need some continued support in this area (the main issue here being that I get so so excited when I see my friends that I feel urged to express it in bouncing up and down even if it is not exercise time).I have begun studies of other doggie manners as well and have earned A+ ratings for my prompt sit and for my hand targeting skills. I think I am all set up for success in my new home! Could this be yours?
