Fox Terrier (Smooth)

Female, Adult
Portage, MI
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story
Rocket loves playing ball, running, snuggling, and performing tricks for treats. Rocket needs additional training and someone who can dedicate the time and energy she deserves. While she is incredibly sweet with my wife and me, she has shown aggression toward our young children, which is our primary concern and the reason we are rehoming her. She has been sweet with older kids in the family when they are over, however. She has also shown aggression toward neighboring dogs, though she has done well at daycare when introduced slowly and got along well with our elderly dog. We truly believe she will thrive in a home where she can receive more individual attention.

Story
Everyone who meets Kozmo says he is such a good boy. He's very loyal, loving, loves other dogs and treats. He attended puppy training and attends doggy daycare twice a week, and always leaves smiling. He walks twice a day, morning and night, and has eaten only Iams dog food his entire life (3.5 years). He's spoiled and loves people, and time together, but my new busy schedule will not allow me the attention and time he would like. We've missed too many walks lately for me to feel good about providing him a great life. Breaks my heart but best for him.
