Story
Oscar is a 5 year old Wheaten terrier. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old. He has always been a bit nervous but he is very loving and good in the home. He is reactive and aggressive with other dogs. He can also be reactive to some people, though typically he loves people who are good with dogs. He is sweet and cuddly and a wonderful companion. He needs to be in a home with no other pets. He also is not good spending large amounts of time alone. He would do well with someone who lives a quiet life and is home a lot.

American Hairless Terrier

Male, Adult
Cambridge, MA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Oliver is a seven year old American Hairless Terrier. He is sweet, docile, and submissive to his owners and in the house he currently lives in with one cat and another dog. He loves the cat especially and they like to snuggle. He lives in an urban area and is struggling with behavior issues. When he is startled or surprised by someone or another dog outside, he can bark, lunge and attempt to bite. He has bitten two people in the past five years due to being surprised and reacting quickly. For this reason, we are seeking to rehome him so he can be in an environment that is not urban ideally. He would do best in a rural area. Once he gets to know another dog, he is fine.

Story
Desert is a true Velcro dog. She is 8 years old and I adopted her on 05/01/2018 when she was a year and a half. She love cuddling, long walks, and sunbathing. She has had no medical issues. Although I marked that she does not get along with dogs, with proper introduction she would do totally fine. She is dog selective. She has lived in a home with another dog and has also gone through lots of times with new dogs when I fostered dogs. Desert is muzzle trained, crate trained (although would prefer no crate), and housebroken.
