Rue is 2 1/2 years old. She is great with kids and other dogs. I have all of her shots up to date, and she is spayed. She does have a cherry eye. Her vets say this is cosmetic and should not cause her issues with vision.

Story
Boss is 7 years old. We found him by the creek when he was 7 months old. He was malnourished and had fleas and ticks. We took him in, had him neutered and heart worm treatment, now he’s taking preventatives. Boss is great with my other dog most of the time. They love to play together but when I play with them outside with toys he gets jealous and has attacked my other dog. This is our main issue and reason why we are rehoming. He also has separation anxiety and breaks through our back porch to lay next to the back door. Boss has ear and eye and skin issues that need medicated/treated regularly. Boss has escaped our backyard twice in the last 4 months. Unfortunately it has just become to much for us and we have decided it is best to find him a better suited home. Hopefully with an experienced adopter that can work with him.
