Story
Kylo is a sweet and loving boy, I just don’t have the time with work to give him the proper training he needs. He’s an absolute cuddle bug he’s about a year old I have all his documents birth certificate etc. I adopted him from a place in Arkansas so he was a rescue he has separation anxiety so he needs to be cared for often. Just looking for a healthy home for him somewhere he can run around and be able to be trained and loved accordingly thank you so much in advance

Wren

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Story
Wren is a great dog. She is around 6 years of age and has been with me for 4 years. She originally lived in Texas and I adopted her through a rescue call Freedom Street Rescue, they thoughtshe was probably 2 years old around the time. Wren is friendly with people. I live alone with no other pets, so she is used to having space and being alone when I am at work. Wren barks at other dogs when I walk her but her behavior can be controlled not to do that with a shock collar. Wren is up for adoption because I can't financially take care of her the way she deserves. I also have health issues that make it difficult for me now. A great space for Wren would be if she had a yard and people who were around more. I walk Wren often, so it would be good if the new owner would want to make this a part of her routine also. Wren is loving and easy going, and would be a wonderful addition to a household without other pets
